Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life
5 -5  -5    -5    -5   5   -4 -4
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
-4   -4   5   5   5  -4  4
I'd have had her for my wife
3 4 -4   5    -6  -6    4     -4 -4    4
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

6  6   6  7   7  -6   6  6  6  -6 4   5
I went up to Memphis and I met Delia there
 -5   -5  -5  5  -4 -4
Found her in her parlor
-4 -4  5   5   5  -4   4
And I tied her to her chair
3 4 -4   5    -6  -6    4     -4 -4    4
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

 6   6   6   6    7   7 -6
She was low down and trifling
 6   6   6   -6   4   5
And she was cold and mean
 -5  -5 -5 5  -4   -4  -4  -4  5   5  5  -4  4
Kind of evil makes me want to grab my submachine
3 4 -4   5    -6  -6    4     -4 -4    4
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

  6    6   7  7   -6  6  6   6  -6  4   5
First time I shot her I hit her in the side
 -5  -5  -5    5  -4 -4
Hard to watch her suffer
-4  -4   -4   5  5   5   -4   4
But with the second shot she died
3 4 -4   5    -6  -6    4     -4 -4    4
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

 6 6    7    7 -6   6 6   -6  4      5
Jailer, oh, jailer Jailer, I can't sleep
   5   -5  -5 -5  5  -4 -4
'Cause all around my bedside
-4 -4  -4   5 5   5  5 -4     4
I hear the patter of Delia's feet
3 4 -4   5    -6  -6    4     -4 -4    4
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

6   6   6    6 7     7 -6     6   6  -6   4   5
So, if your woman's devilish you can let her run
5  -5  -5   -5    5   -4  -4  5   5   5
Or you can bring her down and do her like
 5 5  -4   4
Delia got done
3 4 -4   5    -6  -6    4     -4 -4    4
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
