Delia (song)

Delia was a gambler, gambled all around. She was a gambling girl, she laid her money down. She's all I got, is gone

Delia's dear mother, took a trip out west. When she returned, little Delia had gone to rest. She's all I got, is gone

Delia's mother weep, Delia's father moaned. Wouldn'ta hate it so bad if that child had died at home. She's all I got, is gone

Delia, Delia, how can it be? Say you loved them rounders, and don't love me. She's all I got, is gone

Curtis, he's in the barroom, bringing out the silver cup. Delia she's in the graveyard, may not never wake up. She's all I got, is gone

Rubber tire buggy, double seated hack: Taken Delia to the cemetery but failed to bring her back. She's all I got, is gone

Delia, Delia, poor girl she's gone. All I hate, she has left me all alone. She's all I got, is gone

Judge says to Curtis, "What's that fuss about?" "On account of those gamblers, trying to drive me out." She's all I got, is gone

Curtis says to judge, "What may be my fine?" "I just told you, poor boy, you got 99." She's all I got, is gone

Up on the housetop, higher than I could see. Looking at those rounders, looking out for me. She's all I got, is gone

Curtis looking high, Curtis looking low. Shot poor Delia down, with that hating .44. She's all I got, is gone
