She was forty-one and her daddy still called her baby
And Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy
'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand –
She's looking for a mysterious dark headed man!
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever layed your eyes upon
But a man of low degree stood right by her side
And he promised he would take her for his bride!
Now tell me 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 will meet you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky –
To take you to his mansion in the sky –
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
