Delia oh Delia Delia all my life If I hadn't have shot poor Delia I'd've had her for my wife Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone
First time I shot her 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
Well the guilty gets a sentence but I ain't gonna tell you mine Cause I got a brother in Memphis doin' life for ninety-nine Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone [ guitar ] Oh 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
Now you give me my hammer I'll drag the ball and chain And every rock I bust I seem to ring out Delia's name Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone Delia's gone one more round Delia's gone oh Delia
