As always, I loved the latest edition of COWPIE. And I finally got around
to keying in (most of) the "American Recordings" album by Johnny Cash.
There might be a few typos, but I think I got it all. So, here it is:

Delia's Gone
Music: D. Troops/K.Sibersdorf
Lyrics: Johnny Cash
Publishing information unavailable at date of printing
A D
Delia, oh, Delia
A
Delia all my life
D
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
B7 E
I'd-a had her for my wife
A D A
Delia's gone, one more round
E A
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
