Lyrics:

(Alex Harveylarry Collins)

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

she's Forty-One And Her Daddy Still Calls Her 'baby'
all The Folks Around Brownsville Say She's Crazy
'cause She Walks Around Town With A Suitcase In Her Hand
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
