Текст (слова) песни «Delta Dawn»
Chorus:
Delta Dawn, what's the flower you have
On? Could it be a faded rose from days
Gone by? And did I hear you say he was
A-meetin' you here today to take you
To that mansion in the sky?
She's forty-one and her daddy still
Calls her baby. Sll the folks 'round
Brownsville say she's crazy 'cause
She walks downtown with her suitcase
In her hand lookin' 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
Degrees stood by her side, promised
Her he'd take her for his bride.

Delta Dawn, what's the flower you have
On? Could it be a faded rose from days
Gone by? And did I hear you say he was
A-meetin' you here today to take you
To that mansion in the sky?
