Delia (Remaster) - Bob Dylan
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'd 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's looking high
Curtis's looking low
He shot poor Delia down with a cruel forty-four
All the friends I ever had are gone
High upon 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 trying 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 jailhouse
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 could it be
You wanted all them rounders
Never had time for me
All the friends I ever had are gone
