Delta Dawn

([E].[G]. "[G] - [D]" are [A] half-measure _total_.]

[G]Delta [G]Dawn, what's that [C]flower you have o[G]n
Could it b[G]e a faded r[G]ose from days gone [D]by     [D]
And [G]did I hear you s[G]ay he was a-[C]meeting you here tod[G]ay
To [G]take you to his [G]mansion [D]in the [C]sky    [G]

She's [G]forty-one and her [F]daddy still calls her "b[G]aby" [G]
[G]All the folks around [F]Brownsville say she's [G]crazy [G]
'Cause she [C]walks around [E/B]town with a [Am]suitcase [D7]in her [G]hand  [G]
[G]Looking for a [F]mysterious dark-haired [G]man  [G]

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

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