Lyrics Delta Dawn - Bette Midler
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
