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 meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
She's 41 and her daddy still calls her baby
And all the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man
In her younger days they call her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman ever
And you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of the Lord's grace stood by her side
Promised her he'd take her for his bride

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
