[G]Delta Dawn, what's that fl[C]ower you have o[G]n?
C[D]ould it b[G]e a faded rose from days gone b[D]y?
And [G]did I hear you s[G7]ay he was a-m[C]eeting you here t[G]oday
To [G]take you to his m[D]ansion in the sk[C]y?[G]
She's [G]forty-one and her [F]daddy still calls her "b[G]aby"
[G]All the folks around [F]Brownsville say she's [G]crazy
'Cause she [C]walks around [C/B]town with a [Am]suitcase [D7]in her [G]hand
[G]Looking for a myst[F]erious dark-haired m[G]an.
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
