Delia’s Gone

Lyrics

[Refrain] Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone [Verse 1] First time I shot Delia Shot her in the side The second time I shot her She laid right down and died [Refrain] Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone [Verse 2] The reason I shot my Delia She cursed such an evil curse And if I hadn't shot her I'd believe she'd done me worse [Refrain] Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone [Verse 3] I went down to the graveyard To look at my Delia's face I said, "Delia, gal I love you And I wish I could take your place" [Refrain] Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone [Verse 4] On Monday, I was arrested Tuesday, my case was tried The jurymen found me guilty Brought teardrops in my eyes [Refrain] Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone [Verse 5] Jailer, oh jailer Tell me, how can I sleep When all around my bedside I can hear little Delia's feet? [Refrain] Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone [Verse 6] Some gave Delia a dollar Some gave her two or three I didn't give Delia a penny 'Cause she belonged to me [Refrain] Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone Delia's gone One more round, Delia's gone
