[A] Promised [D] her he'd take her [E] for his bride,
But he lied.
_ _ Delta [A] Dawn, what's that flower [E] you have on?
Could it be a faded rose [B] from days gone by?
[E] Did I hear you say [A] he was meeting [E] you here today
To take you to his mansion [A] in the [E] sky? _
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well she's forty [D]-one and her daddy [E] still calls her baby.
_ _ All [D] the folks around [E] Brownsville say she's crazy,
_ [A] Cause she walks downtown with a suitcase [E] in her hand,
_ _ Looking [D] for a mysterious [E] dark-eyed man.
