Delia

Delia - Blind Willie McTell

Delia was a gambler

Gambled all around

Delia was a gamblin' girl

She laid her money down

She's all I've 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've got is gone

Delia's mother weep

Delia's father moan

Wouldn't have hit so bad

If our child had died at home

She's all I've got is gone

Delia Delia how can it be

Say you love them rounders and don't love me

She's all I've got is gone

Cutty heavin' in the bar room

Drinkin' out a silver cup

Delia she's in the graveyard

May not never wake up

She's all I've 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 it's gone

Delia Delia

Poor girl she's gone

With all I hate she done left me all alone

She's all I got and it's gone

Sheriff said to Curtis

what that stuff's about

On account o' those gamblers

Tryin' to drive me out

She's all I got it's gone

Curtis said to Church

What may be my fine

I done told you poor boy

You got 99

She's all I got it's gone

Up on the house-top

High above the sea

Lookin' at those those rounders

Lookin' after me

She's all I got is gone

Cutty lookin' high Cutty lookin' low

Shot poor Delia down with that hated 44

She's all I got is gone
