We used to shout it out “I am woman!” Did it to get a laugh as it was funny and I am a manly man.

No

“Delta Dawn” is a song written by musician Larry Collins and country songwriter Alex Harvey. The first notable recording of the song was in 1972 by American singer and actress Bette Midler for her debut album The Divine Miss M. However it is best known as a 1972 top ten country hit for Tanya Tucker and a 1973 US number one hit for Helen Reddy.
