Delia's Gone

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'd 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 trialed

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
