I didn't do the things they said
I was just the first man that they found
They were looking to put someone away
And bury in that cold, cold ground
So Delia, come for me
And drink from this silver cup
Delia, pray for me
For the day our souls'll both rise up
Delia, come for me
'Cause I'm going down for sure
Delia, pray for me
Because the sun ain't gonna rise anymore
I would never ever hurt you
I would never bring you harm
And when those rounders did desert you
You stayed with me till dawn
I never had a .44
No pistol did they find
But it's true I was there that morning
At the scene of the crime
So Delia, come for me
And tell the world about our love
Delia, pray for me
'Cause the truth don't seem to be enough
Delia, come for me
'Cause I'm going down for sure
Delia, pray for me
Because the sun ain't gonna rise anymore
Delia, come for me
And drink from this silver cup
Delia, pray for me
For the day our souls'll both rise up
Delia, come for me
'Cause I'm going down for sure
Delia, pray for me
Because the sun ain't gonna rise anymore
Delia, Delia, how could it be?
They're so hungry for blood
That they can't let an innocent man go free
Oh, Delia, pray for me
Delia, come for me
Delia, pray for me
