LITTLE DELIA

Delia, Delia
How can it be?
You say you love those rounders and
                                                            don't love me
Now she's one more     rounder gone

Delia, Delia
See that I'm all alone
Some of you rounders going to
                                                       pay my way back home
 Cause she's one more     rounder gone

Sitting on the housetop
High as I can see
Say you love those rounders and
                                                        love me

But she's one more     rounder gone

Delia's poor mother
Took a little trip out west
When she returned
                                             Little Delia was lying in rest
But she's one more     rounder gone

Delia's mother weeped
Delia's father moaned
They wouldn't have hated it so bad
                                                             if that child had died at home
But she's all I got is gone

Delia was a gambler
Running all around
She was one girl never let the
                                                  deal go down
But she's one more     rounder gone

Rubber tired buggy
Double seated hack
Took Little Delia to the cemetery but failed to bring her back
But she's one more     rounder gone

Delia was a gambler
Running all around
She was one girl never let the
                                                 deal go down

Delia looking high
Curdy looking low
Shot- ooor Delia with that
                                            hatefull .44
But she's one mcre     rounder gone

Delia, Delia
Take no one's advice
Last word I heard her say was
                                                 Jesus Christ
But she's one more     rounder gone

Curdy he's in the barroom
Drinking out the silver cup
Delia's in the graveyard
                                      May not never wake up
But she's one more     rounder gone

Judge said to Curdy
What was that fuss about?
On account of them gamblers
                                              trying to put me out
But she's one more     rounder gone

Judge said to Curdy
I'm gonna tell you the natural fact
Son, you gonna stay
                                 till Little Delia come back
Cause she's one more     rounder gone
