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
