Delta Dawn Lyrics - Live At Last - Bette Midler

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 [Incomprehensible] 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?
