George Gershwin - Sam and Delilah lyrics
[George Gershwin - Sam and Delilah lyrics]
Delilah was a floozy she never gave a damn
Delilah wasn't choosy till she fell
For a swell buckaroo whose name was Sam
Delilah got in action delilah did her kootch
She gave him satisfaction and he fell
'Neath her spell
With the aid of love and hooch
But one day so they tell us
His true wife he did crave
Delilah she got jealous and she tracked him
And hacked him and dug for Sam a grave
It's always that way with passion
So cowboy, learn to behave
Or else you're liable to cash in
With no tombstone on your grave
Delilah, oh Delilah
She's no babe in the wood
Run, cowboy, run a mile ah if you love
That kind of woman she'll do you no good
The sheriff got Delilah
They swung her from a tree
The records are on file ah it's distressin'
But the lesson is an easy one to see
It's always that way with passion
So, cowboy, learn to behave
Or else you're liable to cash in
With no tombstone on your grave
Delilah, oh Delilah
She's no babe in the wood
Run, cowboy, run a mile ah if you love
That kind of woman she'll do you no good
Delilah wasn't choosy till she fell
For a swell buckaroo whose name was Sam
Delilah got in action delilah did her kootch
She gave him satisfaction and he fell
'Neath her spell
With the aid of love and hooch
But one day so they tell us
His true wife he did crave
Delilah she got jealous and she tracked him
And hacked him and dug for Sam a grave
It's always that way with passion
So cowboy, learn to behave
Or else you're liable to cash in
With no tombstone on your grave
Delilah, oh Delilah
She's no babe in the wood
Run, cowboy, run a mile ah if you love
That kind of woman she'll do you no good
The sheriff got Delilah
They swung her from a tree
The records are on file ah it's distressin'
But the lesson is an easy one to see
It's always that way with passion
So, cowboy, learn to behave
Or else you're liable to cash in
With no tombstone on your grave
Delilah, oh Delilah
She's no babe in the wood
Run, cowboy, run a mile ah if you love
That kind of woman she'll do you no good
