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
