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
Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand..
C             F                      C
looking for a mysterious dark haired man.

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 low degree stood by her side..
C                 F                C
promised her he`d take her for his bride.
