Sam and Delilah

Sam and Delilah - Ella Fitzgerald/Nelson Riddle/His Orchestra

Delilah was a floozy

She never gave a damn

Delilah wasn't choosy

Till she fell for a swell buckaroo

Whose name was Sam

Delilah got in action

Delilah did her "kootch"

She gave him satisfaction

And he fell 'neath her spell

With the aid of love and "hootch"

But one day so they tell us

His true wife he did crave

Delilah she got jealous

And she tracked him and hacked him

And dug for Sam a grave

It's always that way with passion

So cowboy learn to behave

Or else you're liable to cash in

With no tombstone on your grave

Delilah oh Delilah

She's no babe in the wood

Run cowboy run a mile-ah

If you love that kind of woman

She'll do you no good
