Delia |
| Delia was a gambling girl, gambled all around |
| Delia was a gambling girl, she laid her money down |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Delia’s dear ol' mother took a trip out West |
| When she returned, little Delia gone to rest |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Delia’s daddy weeped, Delia’s momma moaned |
| Wouldn’t have been so bad if the poor girl died at home |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Curtis' looking high, Curtis' looking low |
| He shot poor Delia down with a cruel forty-four |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| High up on the housetops, high as I can see |
| Looking for them rounders, looking out for me |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Men in Atlanta, tryin' to pass for white |
| Delia’s in the graveyard, boys, six feet out of sight |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Judge says to Curtis, «What's this noise about?» |
| «All about them rounders, Judge, tryin' to cut me out.» |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Curtis said to the judge, «What might be my fine?» |
| Judge says, «Poor boy, you got ninety-nine.» |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Curtis' in the jail house, drinking from an old tin cup |
| Delia’s in the graveyard, she ain’t gettin' up |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
| Delia, oh Delia, how can it be? |
| You loved all them rounders, never did love me |
| All the friends I ever had are gone |
