Bette Midler - Delta Dawn lyrics

She was forty-one and her daddy still called her baby

Everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy

'Cause she walks to the station with a suitcase in her hand

And she's looking for a mysterious dark-haired man.

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on

But a man of low degree stood by her side

And he promised he would take her for his bride.

Delta 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 hear today

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got 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?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today?

He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky.

Delta Dawn, oh, what is that flower that you've got on?

Could it be, could it be just a faded rose from one of those days gone by?

Well, did I her you say

That he was gonna meet you right here, right here today?

He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky

To take you to his mansion in the sky.

He's gonna take you, he's gonna take you

Oh, he's gonna take you and you and you and you

Oh, gonna take you, take you to that mansion

He's got to, gonna take you to that mansion

He's gonna take you and you and you and you

Oh, you and you and you

Take you to his mansion in the sky.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Gonna take you

Oh, oh

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna, he's gonna take you to that mansion

He's gonna take you and you and you, oh...
