The McGuire Sisters — Delilah Jones lyrics

Lyrics

Delilah was a high flying flootie
Delilah needed seventeen phones
Don’t phone her — there isn’t anymore
Delilah — Delilah Jones
Her story is sad
The ending was bad
Delilah Jones — Delilah Jones
She let a no-good guy beguile her
Delilah — weep for Delilah
The devil got a lease on her bones
Just a trumpet-playing bum from Biloxi
Delilah nicely gives him the cross
But Sammy — he blew some crazy notes
And whammy — Delilahs lost
That fiery dog turned into a moll
That he double-crossed
Delilah — Delilah
She let a no-good guy beguile her
Delilah was completely lost
That Sammy hopped a car and a chauffer
He robbed her of her sparkling stones
Then he left her when all the dough was gone
He dropped her — Delilah Jones
Delilah Jones — Delilah Jones
She filled him with lead until he was dead
And out of her bones
Delilah — Delilah
The gal was number two
She finally got her due
Delilah — Delilah
