Annotationen
Bei Johnny Cash ist der Song zum ersten Mal auf dem 1962er Album The Sound of Johnny Cash zu finden, dann 1994 als Opener auf dem ersten American-Recordings-Album. Das Lied geht zurück auf den Mord an Delia Green. Dieser hat zwei Songs nach sich gezogen, diesen von Johnny Cash stammt vom Calypso-Sänger Blake Alphonso Higgs (Blind Blake) ab. Sein lyrischer Standpunkt ist der des Mörders. Ein anderer Delia-Song geht auf Blind Willie McTell zurück und heisst einfach Delia
. Jenen Song hat beispielsweise Bob Dylan auf World Gone Wrong gecovert.

Lyrics
Delia, oh, Delia Delia all my life If I hadn't have shot poor Delia I'd have had her for my wife Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone I went up to Memphis And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor And I tied to her chair Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone She was low down and trifling And she was cold and mean Kind of evil make me want to Grab my sub machine Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone First time I shot her I shot her in the side Hard to watch her suffer But with the second shot she died Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer, I can't sleep 'Cause all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone So if you woman's devilish You can let her run Or you can bring her down and do her Like Delia got done Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone
