Delia lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Delia lyrics Delia was a gambling girl, gambled all around Delia was a gambling girl, she laid her money down. All the friends I ever had are gone. Delia s dear ol mother took a trip out West When she returned, little Delia d gone to rest. All the friends I ever had are gone. Delia s Daddy weeped, Delia s momma moaned Wouldn t have been so bad if the poor girl died at home. All the friends I ever had are gone. Curtis s looking high, Curtis s looking low He shot poor Delia down with a cruel forty-four. All the friends I ever had are gone. High upon the housetops, high as I can see Looking for them rounders, looking out for me. All the friends I ever had are gone. Men in Atlanta, trying to pass for white Delia s in the graveyard, boys, six feet out of sight. All the friends I ever had are gone. Judge says to Curtis, "What s this noise about ?" "All about them rounders, Judge, tryin to cut me out." All the friends I ever had are gone. Curtis said to the judge "What might be my fine ?" Judge says, "Poor boy, you got ninety-nine." All the friends I ever had are gone. Curtis in the jailhouse, drinking from an old tin cup Delia s in the graveyard, she ain t gettin up. All the friends I ever had are gone. Delia, oh Delia, how can it be ? You loved all them rounders, never did love me. All the friends I ever had are gone. Delia, oh Delia, how could it be ? You wanted all them rounders, never had time for me. All the friends I ever had are gone. song lyrics
