Delia lyrics
Song information
Artist: Bob Dylan Album: World Gone Wrong
Lyrics
Delia was a gambling girl, gambled all around Delia was a gambling girl, she laid her money down All the friends I ever had are gone
Delia's dear ol' mother took a trip out west When she returned, little delia gone to rest All the friends I ever had are gone
Delia's daddy weeped, delia's momma moaned Wouldn't have been so bad if the poor girl died at home All the friends I ever had are gone
Curtis' looking high, curtis' looking low He shot poor delia down with a cruel forty-four All the friends I ever had are gone
High up on the housetops, high as I can see Looking for them rounders, looking out for me All the friends I ever had are gone
Men in atlanta, tryin' to pass for white Delia's in the graveyard, boys, six feet out of sight All the friends I ever had are gone
Judge says to curtis, "what's this noise about?" "All about them rounders, judge, tryin' to cut me out." All the friends I ever had are gone
Curtis said to the judge, "what might be my fine?" Judge says, "poor boy, you got ninety-nine." All the friends I ever had are gone
Curtis' in the jail house, drinking from an old tin cup Delia's in the graveyard, she ain't gettin' up All the friends I ever had are gone
Delia, oh delia, how can it be? You loved all them rounders, never did love me All the friends I ever had are gone
Delia, oh delia, how can it be? You wanted all them rounders, never had time for me All the friends I ever had are gone
