[Verse]
                       Ab                    Bb  
She's fortyone and her daddy still calls her baby
                     Ab                    Bb   
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
           Eb    Dm              C               Bb  
'cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand
              Ab                    Bb 
Looking for a mysterious darkhaired man
                         Ab               Bb  
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
                    Ab             Bb
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
       Eb     Dm  C                   Bb  
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
                  Ab               Bb    Bb7
Promised her he'd take her for his bride ■
