[Verse 1]
Delilah was a floozy
She never gave a damn
Delilah wasn't choosy
'Til she fell for a swell buckaroo
Whose name was Sam
[Verse 2]
Delilah got in action
Delilah did her cooch
She gave him satisfaction
And he fell 'neath her spell
With the aid of love and hooch
[Bridge]
But one day, so they tell us
His true wife, he did crave
Delilah, she got jealous
And she tracked him and hacked him
And dug for Sam a grave
It's always that way with passion
So cowboy, learn to behave
Or else you're liable to cash in
With no tombstone on your grave
[Outro]
Delilah, oh Delilah
She's no babe in the wood
Run cowboy, run a mile
If you love that kind of woman
She'll do you no good
