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 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 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 hear 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
