Delta Dawn, what`s that flower you have on?
                                        G
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
    C                           F                  C
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today..
   C               G              F     C
to take you to his mansion in the sky - y?

[Verse 1]
      C                 Bb                     C
She`s forty-one and her Daddy still calls her, Baby.
C                    Bb                    C
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy.
          F        C/E            Dm       G      C
Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand..
C             Bb                     C
looking for a mysterious dark haired man.

[Verse 2]
       C                 Bb               C
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
C               Bb                 C
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
       F      C/E   Dm         G      C
Then a man of low degree stood by her side..
