Delia

[00:24.92] Delia was a gambling girl, gambled all around
[00:32.25] Delia was a gambling girl
[00:38.27] She laid her money down
[00:43.01] All the friends they ever had are gone
[00:49.65] Delia's dear mother took a trip out west
[00:56.35] When she returned
[01:01.03] Poor Delia had gone to rest
[01:07.48] All the friends they ever had are gone
[01:14.14] Delia's daddy wept, Delia's mama moaned
[01:20.80] Wouldn't have been so bad
[01:24.33] If the poor girl died at home
[01:31.54] All the friends they ever had are gone
[01:35.54]
[02:02.38] Curtis' looking high, Curtis' looking low
[02:09.16] He shot poor Delia down with a cruel 44
[02:19.84] All the friends he ever had are gone
[02:26.63] High up on the housetops, high as I can see
[02:33.19] Looking for them rounders
[02:37.96] Looking out for me
[02:44.15] All the friends they ever had are gone
[02:50.87] Men in Atlanta, tryin' to pass for white
[02:57.32] Delia's in the graveyard, boys
[03:01.81] Six feet out of sight
[03:08.21] All the friends they ever had are gone
[03:12.38]
[03:39.14] Judge says to Curtis, "What's this noise about?"
[03:45.76] "It's all about these rounders, Judge
[03:50.33] Tryin' to cut me out"
[03:56.52] All the friends they ever had are gone
[04:02.73] Curtis says to the judge, "What might be my fine?"
[04:09.91] Judge says, "Poor boy, you got 99"
[04:20.67] All the friends they ever had are gone
[04:27.22] Curtis' in the jailhouse, drinking from an old tin cup
[04:34.03] Delia's in the graveyard, boy
[04:37.93] She may never get up
[04:44.88] All the friends they ever had are gone
[04:48.96]
[05:15.95] Delia, oh Delia, how can it be?
[05:22.40] You loved all them rounders
[05:26.84] Never did love me
[05:33.39] All the friends they ever had are gone
[05:39.97] Oh Delia, oh Delia, how can it be?
[05:46.78] You wanted all them rounders
[05:51.48] Never did want me
[05:57.61] All the friends they ever had are gone
[06:01.83]
