She's 41 and her daddy still calls her baby.
On the boat to Ralph Brownsville, she's crazy.
She walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand,
looking for a mysterious diapered man.
There's a John Hossett family we have all
through many a fate rose from days gone by.
And did I hear you say
I was a beat you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky.
In her younger days, they called her Delvedon,
the prettiest
woman you ever laid eyes on.
Till the man of love would agree to by her side,
promised her he'd take her for his bride.
Delvedon,
what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a fated rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a beat you here
today to take you to his mansion in the sky?
Delvedon, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a fated rose from days gone by?
