A D A (let ring)
Delia, oh Delia, Delia on my life
D B7 E
If I hadn't a-shot poor Delia, I'd a-had her for my wife
A D E E7 A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D A A7
I went up to Memphis, and I met Delia there
D B7 E
Found her in her parlor and I tied her to her chair
A D E E7 A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
A D A A7
She was low-down and triflin' and she was cold and mean
D B7 E
Kind of evil make me want to grab my submachine
A D E E7 A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
A D A A7
First time I shot her, I shot her in the side
D B7 E
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died
A D E E7 A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
A D A A7
But jailor, oh jailor, jailor I can't sleep
D B7 E
'Cause all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet
A D E E7 A
Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
A D A A7
So if your woman's devilish, you can let her run
D B7 E
Or you can bring her down and do her like Delia got done
A D E E7 A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
A D E E7 A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
