A (hold) D (hold)
Delia, oh, Delia
A (hold)
Delia all my life
D
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
B7E
I'd-a had her for my wife
ADAEA
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
AD
I went up to Memphis
AA7
And I met Delia there
D
Found her in her parlor
B7E
And I tied to her chair
ADAEA
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
AD
She was low down and trifling
AA7
And she was cold and mean
D
Kind of evil make me want to
B7E
Grab my sub machine
ADAEA
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
AD
First time I shot her
AA7
I shot her in the side
D
Hard to watch her suffer
B7E
But with the second shot she died
ADAEA
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
AD
But jailer, oh, jailer
AA7
Jailer, I can't sleep
D
'Cause all around my bedside
B7E
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
ADAEA
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
AD
So if you woman's devilish
AA7
You can let her run
D
Or you can bring her down and do her like
B7E
Delia got done
ADAEA
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
ADAEA
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
