Tom Jones
Delilah (Live 1969)
[Sung]
I saw the light on, the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me, I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah?
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah?
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just could not take anymore
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah?
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just could not take anymore
Forgive me, Delilah, I just could not take anymore
[Spoken]
Yeah, man [?]
Thank you
What've we got there?
What's up, m'lad?
Just before we go any further, ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to give
A big round of applause
To the orchestra that we have here tonight, there they are
And I brought with me from England three of the finest musicians that we have there
On drums, we have Chris; on bass, we have John; on lead guitar, we have Jimmy; there they are
And the man you see standing in front of the orchestra is my arranger
He arranged all the music for me on the TV series
He also conducts for me; his name is Johnny Spence
