"Delia's Gone" lyrics

"Delia's Gone"
(feat. Taj Mahal)

Now Delia curves Tony
Was on one Saturday night
She cursed, cursed him such a wicked curse
That he swore to take her life

Delia gone, one more round, Delia gone

First time that Tony shot Delia
He shot her right in the side
The second time he shot her
She gave up the gold and died

Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

Now the reason why Tony shot Delia
Curse, cursed him such a wicked curse
If Tony hadn't shot little Delia
She might've cursed him worse

Now Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Alright, Taj Mahal

On a Monday, Tony was arrested
On Tuesday, his case was tried
Jury found him guilty
He began to roll his eyes

Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

Ninety years in prison
Tony told the judge, "That is no time"
"'Cause I've got a brother down in New Orleans
Serving nine-hundred ninety and nine"

Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

Now Tony is in prison
He's drinking from a silver cup
While Delia's six foot under
Trying her level best to get up

Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
One more time
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
