Delia's Gone - Traditional, Arr. By White Jr.
Delia cursed poor Toolie
Cursed him such a wicked curse
If she hadn't been shot at
Well she would have cursed him worse
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Well they sent for the doctor
He came all dressed in white
Done everything the doctor could do
But he said Delia's gone
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Then they sent for the mother
She came all dressed in black
She cried all day, and she cried all night
She couldn't bring Delia back
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
On a monday Toolie was arrested
Tuesday he was tried
A jury box found him guilty
And the verdict was to die
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
He said jailer, oh jailer
How can I sleep
All around my bed at night
I can hear little Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
