Delia’s Gone

Now Delia cursed Tony

Was on one Saturday night

She cursed, cursed him such a wicked curse

That he swore to take her life

Delia gone, one more round, Delia gone

First time that Tony shot Delia

He shot her right in the side

The second time he shot her

She gave up the ghost and died

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

Now the reason why Tony shot Delia

Curse, cursed him such a wicked curse

If Tony hadn't shot little Delia

She might've cursed him worse

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

(Alright, Taj Mahal)

On a Monday, Tony was arrested

On Tuesday, his case was tried

Jury found him guilty

He began to roll his eyes

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

Ninety years in prison

Tony told the judge, "That is no time

'Cause I've got a brother down in New Orleans

Serving nine-hundred ninety and nine"

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

Now Tony is in prison

He's drinking from a silver cup

While Delia's six foot under

Trying her level best to get up

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

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

(One more time)

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