Bette Midler - Delta Dawn lyrics

Your rating:
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...
