Delia Lyrics by Blind Willie McTell

0

Delia was a gambler, gambled all around
She was a gambling 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 weeped, Delia's father moaned
Wouldn't've been so bad if the child had died at home
She's all I've got, is gone
Delia, Delia, how can it be?
Say you love those ramblers and don't love me
She's all I've got, is gone
Kenny in the bar-room, bringing out the silver cup
Delia she's in the graveyard, may not now wake up
She's all I've got, is gone
Brother tie your buggy, double-seated hack
Taking Delia to the cemetery but fail to take her back
She's all I've got, is gone
Delia Delia, poor girl she's gone
All I hate, she's left me all alone
She's all I've got, is gone
Judge said to Kenny, "What's that fuss about?
On account of those gamblers trying to drive me out"
She's all I've got, is gone
Kenny said to the church, "What may be my fine?"
"I've told you poor boy, you've got 99"
Up on the house-top, higher than I could see
Looking at those ramblers, looking out to me
She's all I've got, is gone
Kenny lookin' high, Kenny lookin' low
Shot poor Delia with that hatin' 44
She's all I've got, is gone
