Delia

San Francisco, 1960

Delia's picture

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.

High up on the housetops
high as I can see
looking for those rounders
looking out for me.

all the friends I ever had are gone.

Man in Atlanta trying to pass for white
Delia's in the graveyard
six feet out of sight.

All the friends I ever had are gone.

Delia's in the graveyard, boy,
she must never now get up,

all the friends I ever had are gone.

—as reported by the famous Bob Dylan on his album World Gone Wrong.
