Delia, oh Delia, Delia all my life
If I hadn t shot poor Delia, Id have her for my wife
Delia s gone, one more round, Delia s gone
First time I shot her, shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer, so with the second shot she died
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone
The guilty get a sentence, but I ain t gonna tell you mine
Cause I got a brother in Memphis
Doin life or 99
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone
You give me my hammer, I ll drag the ball and chain
With every rock I bust
I seem to ring out Delia s name
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone
Jailer oh, jailer, jailer I can t sleep
Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia s feet
Delia s gone one more round, Delia s gone
(Chorus)
Delia s gone like a blue eyed dove, Delia s gone
Oh Delia
