#1.
E D E
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn.
E D E
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on.
A E
But a man of low degree stood by her side.
E D E
Promised her he'd take her for his bride.
CHORUS:
E A E
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
E B
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E A
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
E B E
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
#2.
E D E
She's forty one and her daddy still calls her, baby.
E D E
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy.
A E
Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand.
E D E
Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man.
CHORUS:
E A E
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
E B
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E A
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
E B E
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
CHORUS:
E A E
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
E B
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
E A
Did I hear you say he was meetin' you here
E A E
today..to take you to his mansion in the sky?
CHORUS:

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
