Song "Delta Dawn" by Bette Midler

---

• Concert Tickets

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 ma-an

In her younger day 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 bri-ide

Delta-a 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-y?

Delta-a 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-y?

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you got o-on?
Could it be a faded rose from days go-one by?
Did I hear you say he was meeting you right here today?
He's gonna take you to his mansion in the sky-hy-i-hy-i-hy-i-hy-i

Delta Dawn, oh-oh, what is that flower that you've got o-on?
Could it be, could it be just a faded rose from one of those days gone by-y?
We-ell, 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-hy-i-hy-i-hy-i-hy-i
To take you to his mansion in the sky-hy-i-hy-i-hy-i-hy-i

(He is gonna take you, gonna take you, he is gonna take you to his mansion)
This back-up line continues throughout most of the remainder of the song

He is gonna take you, he is gonna take you-ou
Oh-oh, he's gonna take you and you and you and you
Oh, gonna take you, take you to that mansion
He is goin' to, gonna take you to that mansion
He is gonna take you and you and you and you, Oh-oh, you and you and you
(His is gonna) Take you to his ma-a-ansion in the sky-hy-hy-hy-hy-i-hy-i-hy...

Oh-oh-hoh-hoh, oh-oh, oh-oh, Oh-oh-hoh-hoh, Oh-oh, oh-oh, Oh-oh-hoh-hoh
Gonna take you Oh-oh-hoh, He is gonna take you, gonna take you
He is gonna, he's gonna take you to that mansion
He is gonna take you and you and you, oh-oh
I'll take him, I'll take him, I'll take, take him to that mansion (fade)
