Lyric Delia s Gone

(Karl Silbersdorf - Dick Toops)

Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.

First time I shot Delia
Shot her in the side
The second time I shot her
She laid right down and died
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.

The reason I shot my Delia
She cursed such an evil curse
And if I hadn t shot her
I believe she d done me worse
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.

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."
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.

On Monday I was arrested
Tuesday my case was tried
The jurymen found me guilty
Brought teardrops in my eyes
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.

Jailer, oh jailer
Tell me how can I sleep
When all around my bedside
I can hear little Delia s feet
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.

Some gave Delia a dollar
Some gave her two or three
I didn t give Delia a penny
Cause she belonged to me
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone.
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone...
