Johnny Cash: Delia's Gone Meaning
Song Released: 1994
Delia's Gone Lyrics
Delia's Gone
Delia, oh, Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn't 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 her to...
Delia, oh, Delia
Delia all my life
If I hadn't 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 her to...

Delia was a trifling mean woman & he's telling the story of how he killed her from jail.
