Blind Willie McTell — Delia

Delia was a gambler, gambled all around She was a gambling girl, she laid her money down She's all I've got, is gone Delia's dear mother took a trip out West When she returned little Delia had gone to rest She's all I've got, is gone Delia's mother weeped, Delia's father moaned Wouldn't've been so bad if the child had died at home She's all I've got, is gone Delia, Delia, how can it be? Say you love those ramblers and don't love me She's all I've got, is gone Kenny in the bar-room, bringing out the silver cup Delia she's in the graveyard, may not now wake up She's all I've got, is gone Brother tie your buggy, double-seated hack Taking Delia to the cemetery but fail to take her back She's all I've got, is gone Delia Delia, poor girl she's gone All I hate, she's left me all alone She's all I've got, is gone Judge said to Kenny, "What's that fuss about? On account of those gamblers trying to drive me out" She's all I've got, is gone Kenny said to the church, "What may be my fine?" "I've told you poor boy, you've got 99" Up on the house-top, higher than I could see Looking at those ramblers, looking out to me She's all I've got, is gone Kenny lookin' high, Kenny lookin' low Shot poor Delia with that hatin' 44 She's all I've got, is gone
