SINGER: Bob Dylan
SONG: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. Delia, oh delia, how can it be? you wanted all them rounders, never had time for me. all the friends i ever had are gone.
