Delia’s Gone Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Delia, oh, Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn′t have shot poor Delia
I'd a had her for my wife
Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia's gone

I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there
I found her in her parlour
And I tied her to her chair
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone


She was low down and triflin
And she was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me
Want to grab my sub machine
Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia's gone

First time I shot her
I 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

But jailer, oh, jailer
Jailer I cant sleep
′Cause all around the bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia's gone


So if you woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her
Like Delia got done
Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia′s gone

Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone
