'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand
And she's looking for a mysterious dark-haired manIn her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

But a man of low degree stood by her side
And he promised he would take her for his brideDelta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
Did I hear you say he was meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got on?
