"Delia's Gone" lyrics

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
