[Chorus]
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

[Verse 1]
She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "Baby"
And all the folks around Vallejo say she's crazy
'Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-eyed man

[Chorus]
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?

[Verse 2]
In her younger days they called her "Delta Dawn"
The prettiest woman you ever have laid eyes on
And then a man of low degree stood by her side
And told her he would take her for his bride, but I lied

[Chorus]
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
