Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on 
          G5          G5                  D5      D5 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by 
    G5               G5           C5                   G5 
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today 
   G5               G5   -   D5      C5      G5 
To take you to his mansion in the sky 
 

      G5                 F5                       G5    G5 
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby" 
G5                    F5                     G5     G5 
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy 
           C5      -     E5         A5   -   D5     G5     G5 
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand 
G5             F5                      G5    G5 
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man 
 
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn 
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on 
Then a man of low degree stood by her side 
And promised her he'd take her for his bride 
 
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on 
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by 
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today 
To take you to his mansion in the sky
