Delia Lyrics - World Gone Wrong You - 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 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.
