Della And The Dealer Tab

by Hoyt Axton


 		
It was 	Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a 	cat named Kalamazoo
 				
L	eft the city in a 	pick-up truck.  G	onna make some dreams come 	true
 		
Well 	they rolled out west where the wild sun sets and the 	coyote bays at the
moon
 				
 	Della and the Dealer and a 	dog named Jake and a 	cat named Kalama	zoo

 	
        If that 	cat could talk what tales he'd tell
 	
        About 	Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
 	
        But the 	cat was cool
 	
        And he never said a mum	blin' word

Down Tucson way there's an old cafe where they play a little cowboy tune
The guitar picker was a friend of mine by the name of Randy Boone
Well Randy played her a sweet love song and Della got a fire in her eye
The Dealer had a gun and the dog had a knife and the cat had a shot of rye

~~chorus~~

Well the Dealer was a killer; he was evil and mean and he was jealous of the
fire in her eye
He snorted his coke through a century note and he swore that Boone would die
Well the stage was set when the lights went out there was death in Tucson
town
Bodies ran for the bar back door, but one stayed on the ground

~~chorus~~

Two bodies ran from the bar that night and a dog and a cat ran too
The tires got hot on the pickup truck, as down the road they flew
It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo
Left Tucson in a pickup truck. Gonna make some dreams come true

~~chorus~~ (2x)
