In
her
younger
days
they
called
her
Delta
Dawn
Dans
sa
jeunesse,
ils
l'appelaient
Delta
Dawn
Prettiest
woman
you
ever
had
laid
eyes
on
La
plus
belle
femme
que
vous
ayez
jamais
vue
But
a
man
of
low
degree
stood
by
her
side
Mais
un
homme
de
basse
extraction
se
tenait
à
ses
côtés
Promised
her
he'd
take
her
for
his
bride
but
he
lied.
Il
lui
a
promis
de
l'épouser,
mais
il
a
menti.
Delta
Dawn
what's
that
flower
you
have
on
Delta
Dawn,
quelle
est
cette
fleur
que
tu
portes
Could
it
be
a
faded
rose
of
days
gone
by
Serait-ce
une
rose
fanée
des
jours
passés
?
Did
I
hear
you
say
he
was
meetin'
you
here
today
Ai-je
entendu
dire
qu'il
te
rencontrait
ici
aujourd'hui
To
take
you
to
his
mansion
in
the
sky?
Pour
t'emmener
dans
son
manoir
céleste
?

She's
forty-one
and
her
daddy
still
calls
her
baby
Elle
a
quarante
et
un
ans
et
son
père
l'appelle
toujours
bébé
All
the
folks
around
Brownsville
say
she's
crazy
Tous
les
gens
de
Brownsville
disent
qu'elle
est
folle
Cause
she
walks
downtown
with
a
suitcase
in
her
hand
Parce
qu'elle
se
promène
en
ville
avec
une
valise
à
la
main
Looking
for
a
mysterious
dark
haired
man.
À
la
recherche
d'un
mystérieux
homme
aux
cheveux
noirs.
