Delia Gone Lyrics

Delia cursed Tony

On one Saturday night

She cursed him such a wicked curse

That he sweared

I'm gonna take your life

(CHORUS)

Delia gone

One more round

Delia gone

The first time Tony shot Delia

He let her have it in the side

The second time he shot her

Well, she bowed down

Her head and died

(CHORUS)

Well, the folks sent down for the doctor

That gent came on dressed in black

He did everything that a doctor could do

But he couldn't bring Delia back

(CHORUS)

On Monday, Tony was arrested

On Tuesday, his case tried

The jury brought him down guilty

The judge said ninety-nine years

Is your time, she's gone

One more round

Delia gone

Ninety-nine years in prison

Tony laughed, judge, that's no time

I got me a brother down in New Orleans

Serving nine hundred ninety and nine

The joke's on you, judge

Delia gone, yeah, she's gone

Now old Tony's cooling in the jailhouse

Drinking from a silver cup

Poor Delia's out in the graveyard

Trying her ding dong best to get up

But she's out, boy

One more round

Delia's gone

Oh, mama, oh, mama

Tell me, how can I sleep

When all around my bed side

I keep hearing Delia's feet

Ma, she's transparent

One more round

Delia's gone

Yeah, old Tony trumped

Out to the graveyard

And he looked right in

Old Delia's face

He said, Gal, as much as I love you

I just cannot take your place

Delia's gone

One more round

Have another, fellas

She's not coming back

Delia gone

One more round

Delia's gone
