Delta Dawn - Barbara Ray
[Chorus]
C F C
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
C F C G
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
C F C
And did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
C G F C
to take you to his mansion in the sky-y?
[Verse 1]
C F C
She's forty-one and her Daddy still calls her baby
C F C
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
C F G C
When she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
C F C
looking for a mysterious dark haired man
[Verse 2]
C F C
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
C F C
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
C F G C
Then a man of law degree stood by her side
C F C
promised her he'd take her for his bride
[Chorus]
