-3 -4-3 4*
Del-ta Dawn, 
4*      4*   -4  -3 -3  -2*  2
what's that flow-er you have on
2     2  -3-3 -3  -3  4*
Could it be a fad-ed rose 
4*    -3   -3  -4
from days gone by
6   -6* 6  6    6   5*
And did I hear you say 
5* 5* -3  -4  -4  -3   -3 -2*  2
he was a-meet-in’ you here to-day
2   -3  -3  -3 -4   4*  4*  4* -4  -3
To take you to his man-sion in the sky

-3     4* 4*  6   4*  4* -4  -3
She's for-ty-one and her dad-dy 
-2*    -3   -3   -3 -3
still calls her "ba-by"
4*   4*   6   4*  4*   -4     -3
All the folks a-round Browns-ville 
-3   -3    -3 -3
say she's craz-y
6       6   -6*  -6*  -6*
'Cause she walks down town 
-6* -6* 6    -5  6  -6*  6
with a suit-case in her hand
5*   5*   6  5* 5* -4   -3
Look-in’ for a mys-ter-ious 
-2*    -3   -3
dark-haired man

-3 -3    4*  4*  6
In her young-er days 
4*    -4    -3  -3  -3  4*
they called her Del-ta Dawn
4*   4*  4*  6  4*  4* -4 -3  -3   -3  4*
Pret-ti-est wom-an you ev-er laid eyes on
6    6 -6*-6* -6* -6* -5    -5   6 -6*  6
Then a man of low de-gree stood by her side
2    4*    4*  6   4*   -4  -3  -2* -3   -3
And prom-ised her he'd take her for his bride

-3 -4-3 4*
Del-ta Dawn, 
4*      4*   -4  -3 -3  -2*  2
what's that flow-er you have on
2     2  -3-3 -3  -3  4*
Could it be a fad-ed rose 
4*    -3   -3  -4
from days gone by
6   -6* 6  6    6   5*
And did I hear you say 
5* 5* -3  -4  -4  -3   -3 -2*  2
he was a-meet-in’ you here to-day
2   -3  -3  -3 -4   4*  4*  4* -4  -3
To take you to his man-sion in the sky
