Delia's Gone - Johnny Cash

INTRO
              
Delia, oh Delia, Delia all my life
                                                   
If I hadn't-a shot poor Delia, I'd have had her for my wife
                                           
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

VERSES
                                      
I went up to Memphis, and I met Delia there
                                              
Found her in her parlor, and I tied her to her chair
                                           
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone 

She was low-down and travellin', 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
'Cuz all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

So if your 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

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