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 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...
