Delia’s Gone Songtext
von Bobby Bare

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 at 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
