[Verse 1]
Delia, oh Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn't of shot poor Delia
I'd have had her for my wife

[Chorus]
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone

[Verse 2]
I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there
Found her in her parlor
And I tied her to her chair

[Chorus]
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone

[Verse 3]
She was low-down and trifling
She was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me
Want to grab my sub-machine
[Chorus]
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone

[Verse 4]
First time I shot her
Shot her in the side
Hard to watch her suffer
But with the second shot she died

[Chorus]
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone

[Verse 5]
But jailer, oh, jailer
Jailer, I can't sleep
Cause all around my bedside
I hear the patter of Delia's feet

[Chorus]
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone
[Verse 6]
So if your woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her
Like Delia got done

[Chorus]
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone

[Chorus]
Delia's gone
One more round
Delia's gone
