Stumpjumper

[Verse 1]
\nDelia, Delia, how can it be?
\nYou [?] all around us, but you never will love me
\nGonna be one more runner gone
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nDelia, Delia, she said I'm all alone
\n[?] around his head, gonna be my way back home
\nGonna be one more runner gone
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nWell, Delia was a gambler, she rambled all around
\nShe was one girl never let that deal go down
\nGonna be one more runner gone
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nNow, I climbed up on her housetop, I got as high as I could be
\nYou [?] around us, but you never will love me
\nGonna be one more runner gone
\n
\n[Verse 5]
\nDelia, Delia, why didn't you run?
\nYou seen that desperado comin' with his forty-four smokeless gun
\nCryin', "There's one more runner gone"
\n
\n[Verse 6]
\nThere's a rubber tire carriage and double-seated hack
\nI'm gonna take you to the graveyard, ain't never gonna bring her back
\nNow there's one more runner gone
\n
\n[Verse 7]
\nDelia's mother weeps, Delia's father mourn
\nAnd they wouldn't a' hated it so bad if their child had died in home
\nThere's one more runner gone
\n
\n[Verse 8]
\n'Course Kenny's in the jailhouse, he's-a drinkin' out of a silver cup
\nDelia's in the graveyard and she ain't never gonna get up
\nNever gonna get up
\nOne more runner gone
\n
\n[Verse 9]
\nHe's sayin', "Jenna, Jenna, how can I sleep?
\nAll around my bed at night I can hear little Delia's feets
\nNow there's one more runner gone"
\n
\n[Verse 10]
\nWell, that judge, he said, "Yeah, Kenny, I'll tell you how it's gonna be
\nSon, I'm gonna hang your body up and set your spirit free
\nGonna be one more runner gone"
\n
\n[Verse 1]
\nDelia, Delia, how can it be?
\nYou [?] all around us, but you never will love me
\nOne more runner gone
\nNow there's one more runner gone
\nAnd it's all I got is gone\n\n
