Delia's Gone (mono) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Delia, oh, Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn′ta shot poor Delia
I'da had 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
But with the second shot, she died

Delia's gone, one more round, Delia′s gone

Well, 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

But 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

Now you give me my hammer
I′ll drag the ball and chain
And every rock I bust
I seem to ring out Delia's name

Delia′s gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia′s gone, one more round, Delia's gone

Oh, Delia
Delia′s gone like a July snow
Delia's gone
