Delia, oh [D] Delia, [A] Delia all my life.
[D] If I hadn't shot poor Delia, [B] I'd have had [G#] her for [E] my wife.
Delia's gone, [D] one more [E] round, [A] Delia's gone.
I went [D] up to Memphis, [A] and I met Delia there.
[D] Found her in her parlor, and I tied [F#] her to her [E] chair.
[A] Delia's gone, [D] one [A] more round, [E] [A] Delia's gone.
She was low down [D] and trifling, [A] and she was cold and mean.
[D] Kind of evil make [E] me want [B] to grab my [E] submachine.
[A] Delia's gone, [D] one more [E] round, [A] Delia's gone.
First time [D] I shot her, [A] I shot her in the side.
[D] Hard to watch her suffer, [B] but with the second [F#] shot she died.
Delia's [D] gone, one more [E] round, [A] Delia's gone.
But Jailor, [D] oh Jailor, [A]
Jailor I can't sleep.
[D] Cause all around my bedside, I hear the patter [F#] of Delia's feet.
[A] Delia's gone, [D] one [A] more round, [E] Delia's [A] gone.
So if your [D] woman's devilish, [A] you can let her run.
[D] Or you can bring her down [E] and do her [B] like [E] Delia got done.
[A] Delia's gone, [D] one more [E] round, [A] Delia's gone.
Delia's gone, [D]
one more [E] round, [A] Delia's gone.
