Delta Dawn what s that flower you have on
A D A E
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by

And did I hear you say he was meeting you here today

Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger day's they called her Delta Dawn
A D A
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
A D E A
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
A D A
promised her he d take her for his bride
