Lyrics Bette Midler

Bette Midler

Delta Dawn

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

And everyone in Brownsville thinks she's crazy

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

See she's, she's looking for a mysterious dark haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn

Prettiest woman you ever laid your eyes upon

But a man of low degree stood right by her side

And he promised he would take her for his bride

Oh, and 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, yeah

To take you to his mansion in the sky?

Oh, 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, girl?

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

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

Gonna take you to his mansion in the sky

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

Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?

Did I hear you say he ... you here today?

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

To take you to his mansion, oh, can't wait to go in the sky

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you to his mansion

He's gonna take you, gonna take you

He's gonna take you to his mansion

He's gonna take you

He's gonna take you

He's gonna take you

Take me, take me to his mansion

He promised me a mansion in the sky

Take me to the sky

He's gonna take you

He's gonna take you

He's gonna take you

Take me, take me, take me

Why won't you take me to your mansion?

He promised me a mansion in the sky

Why don't you take me to the sky?
