Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor
Delia I'd have had her for my wife

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

I went up to Memphis

And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor
And I tied to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone


She was low down and trifling
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 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


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
