CCould it be a Ffaded Crose from days gone Gby?
And Cdid I hear you say he was Fmeeting you here toCday
Cto take you to his Gmansion in the Fsky-Cy?

CShe's forty-one and her FDaddy still calls her Cbaby
CAll the folks around FBrownsville say she's Ccrazy
CWhen she Fwalks downtown with her Gsuitcase in her Chand
Clooking for a Fmysterious dark haired Cman
[Verse 2]
CIn her younger days they Fcalled her Delta CDawn
CPrettiest woman Fyou ever laid eyes Con
CThen a Fman of low deGgree stood by her Cside
Cpromised her he'd Ftake her for his Cbride
[Chorus]
DDelta Dawn, what's that Gflower you have Don?
DCould it be a Gfaded Drose from days gone Aby?
And Ddid I hear you say he was Gmeeting you here toDday

DDelta Dawn, what's that Gflower you have Don?
DCould it be a Gfaded Drose from days gone Aby?
And Ddid I hear you say he was Gmeeting you here toDday
Dto take you to his Amansion in the Gsky-Dy?
