[Verse 1]
A          D     A            A7
Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life

   D
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia

         B7             E
I'd have had her for my wife

        A     D        A      E       A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
[Verse 2]
A            D
I went up to Memphis

A               A7     D
And I met Delia there, found her in her parlor

      B7          E
And I tied to her chair

        A     D        A      E       A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
[Verse 3]
                     D
She was low down and trifling

 A                   A7
And she was cold and mean

D                            B7          E
Kind of evil make me want to grab my sub machine

         A    D        A      E       A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
[Verse 4]
             D          A               A7
First time I shot her I shot her in the side

D
Hard to watch her suffer

             B7              E
But with the second shot she died

        A     D        A      E       A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
[Verse 5]
    A           D      A
But jailer, oh, jailer jailer,

        A7           D
I can't sleep 'cause all around my bedside

           B7                E
I hear the patter of Delia's feet

        A      D       A      E       A
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
[Verse 6]
                   D
So if your woman's devilish

A                A7
You can let her run

   D
Or you can bring her down and do her

B7             E
Like Delia got done

        A     D        A      E       A       
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
