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

 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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

 [bad word] to my house then back into the night

 Delia was a gambling girl she would scream and shout

 She placed a rose at MojoÕs 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
