Bob Dylan – Delia Lyrics  Share

From Bob Dylan's album: World Gone Wrong

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.
[ Delia lyrics from

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.
