Lyrics:
Delia oh Delia where have you been so long
If buddys talkin' bout Delia they say she's done me wrong
They took my Delia to the graveyard took her in a long black hearse
If I hadn't shot my poor Delia I believe she'd have got me first
Delia's gone
Went down to the graveyard to look at my Delia's face
I said Deia girl how I love you and I wish I could take your place
Jailer oh jailer tell me how can I sleep
When all around my bedside I hear little Delia's feet
Delia's gone
Some gave Delia a dollar some gave her two or three
But I didn't give Delia a penny cause she belonged to me
Delia's gone Delia's gone

This was on the first Waylon album I purchased back in the '60s. I don't know if I'd heard him sing on the radio, or if it was just priced so cheap that I took a chance on it. I became a fan and purchased many of his albums, but this was always my favorite album; Delia's Gone was my favorite song on it. I wish I could find a CD, and I really appreciate your putting it on YouTube; first time I've heard it since I broke my old record player. The only time I didn't like his music was in the 80s (?) when he tried to do a rock sound during his drug abuse years. Thank you so much!!! 11 years ago

I first saw and heard Waylon do this on television back in 69. I was an instant convert to his unique voice and song style. No one gives this blues balled the justice that Waylon does.13 years ago

Yes he did. He was definitely the best.13 years ago

He did so many songs through the 60's and 70's that were true gems but Nashville at the time all but turned it's back on Waylon. His voice, even almost all his covers, were well above what Nashville had, other then the true country singers. Waylon was above them all. He was among, if not THE first to cover such folks as the Beatles, and Southern Rock groups, and made them all sound as if thery were his.13 years ago
