Lyrics
0:24When all the ladies
0:26Heard that he was dead
0:29Some wore orange dresses
0:31And some wore red
0:34When all the ladies
0:36Heard that he had died
0:39He could hear them wailing
0:40All the way on the other side
1:04Police officer
1:06Walked onto the plan
1:09"Don't come any closer"
1:11Said Curtis to the man
1:14Curtis said to Delia
1:16As she turned to walk away
1:19"You so very beautiful but
1:21You gonna die someday"
1:24Judge he said to Curtis
1:26"What's this noise about "
1:29Curtis said "These evil men
1:31Are trying to put me out"
1:34When all the ladies heard
1:36That he was dead
1:39Some wore black dresses
1:41And some wore red
2:03He unhooked his revolver
2:06And pulled on his gloves
2:09Just before he folded
2:11King queen jack ten
2:12Nine of clubs
2:14He saw Delia leaning
2:16Over by the door
2:19Stood at the table
2:21And he pulled his forty four
2:24Delia started crying fell
2:26On her knees to pray
2:29Delia begged for mercy
2:31But there would be hell to pay
2:44When all the ladies
2:46Heard that he was dead
2:49Some wore orange dresses
2:51And some wore red
2:54When all the ladies
2:56Heard that he had died
2:58He could hear them wailing
3:00All the way on the other side
3:23Curtis said Your Honor
3:25What might be my fine
3:28The judge said "Poor boy
3:29You get ninety nine"
3:33Other existence identity light
3:38Mojo come to my house
3:40Then back into the night
3:43Delia was a gambling girl
3:45She would scream and shout
3:47She placed a rose at Mojos
3:50Tomb then blew the candle out
4:02When all the ladies
4:04Heard that he was dead
4:07Some wore orange dresses
4:09And some wore red
4:12When all the ladies
4:14Heard that he had died
4:17He could hear them wailing
4:19All the way on the other side
When all the ladies Heard that he was dead Some wore orange dresses And some wore red When all the ladies Heard that he had died He could hear them wailing All the way on the other side Police officer Walked onto the plan "Don't come any closer" Said Curtis to the man Curtis said to Delia As she turned to walk away "You so very beautiful but You gonna die someday" Judge he said to Curtis "What's this noise about " Curtis said "These evil men Are trying to put me out" When all the ladies heard That he was dead Some wore black dresses And some wore red He unhooked his revolver And pulled on his gloves Just before he folded King queen jack ten Nine of clubs He saw Delia leaning Over by the door Stood at the table And he pulled his forty four Delia started crying fell On her knees to pray Delia begged for mercy But there would be hell to pay When all the ladies Heard that he was dead Some wore orange dresses And some wore red When all the ladies Heard that he had died He could hear them wailing All the way on the other side Curtis said Your Honor What might be my fine The judge said "Poor boy You get ninety nine" Other existence identity light Mojo come to my house Then back into the night Delia was a gambling girl She would scream and shout She placed a rose at Mojos Tomb then blew the candle out When all the ladies Heard that he was dead Some wore orange dresses And some wore red When all the ladies Heard that he had died He could hear them wailing All the way on the other side
