Delia Songtext
von Cordelia's Dad

Delia cursed Tony
On a Saturday night
Cursed him such a wicked curse
He swore he′d take her life

Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone

The first time he shot her
He shot her in the side
The second time he shot her
She lay down her head and died

They called for a doctor
And he came dressed in black
He's done everything that a doctor could
But he couldn't bring Delia back


Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone

Monday he was arrested
And on Tuesday he was tried
The jury found him guilty
And the judge said ninety-nine

Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone

Ninety-nine years in prison?
Judge that ain't no time
I got a brother in New Orleans
With nine hundred ninety-nine

Now, Tony he′s in the jailhouse
Drinkin' outta silver cup
And Delia, she's in the graveyard
Trying her best to get up


Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone

Jailer, oh, Jailer
How can I sleep?
When all around my bed side
My dear, darling Delia creeps

Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone
One more round
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia′s gone
