Delia, Delia, how can it be
Say you love old rounders and don't love me
Now she's one more rounder gone.

Delia, Delia, says I'm all alone
Some of you rounders gonna pay my way back home
'Cause she's one more rounder gone.

Sitting on the house top, high as I could see
Say you love old rounders and don't love me
Now she's one more rounder gone.

Delia's poor mother took a little trip out west
When she returned little Delia was lying in rest
Now she's one more rounder gone.

Delia's mother weeped, Delia's father moaned
They wouldn't have hated it so bad if their child had died at home
But she's all I got and gone.

Delia was a gambler, running all around
She was one girl that never let the deal go down
Now she's one more rounder gone.

Rubber-tired buggy, double-seated hack
Took little Delia to the cemetery but failed to bring her
     back
Now she's one more rounder gone.

Delia was a gambler, running all around
She was one girl that never let the deal go down
And she's one more rounder gone.

Delia looking high, Kenny looking low
Shot poor Delia down with that hateful 44
Now she's one more rounder gone.

Delia, Delia, take no one's advice
Last word I heard her say was "Jesus Christ!"
Now she's one more rounder gone

Kenny's sitting in the barroom drinking from a silver
     cup
Delia she's in the graveyard, may not never wake up
And she's one more rounder gone.

Judge said to Kenny, what was that fuss about
All on account of them gamblers trying to put me out
Now she's one more rounder gone

Judge said to Kenny, I'm gonna tell you a natural fact
Son you're gonna stay 'til little Delia come back
And she's one more rounder gone.
