She's forty one and her daddy still calls her baby |
|
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy |
|
'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand |
|
Lookin' 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 ameetin' you here today |
|
To take you to his mansion in the sky |
