Delta Dawn Lyrics - Loretta Lynn

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
