Delilah - Tom Jones

1. Strophe

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window 

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind 

Yea, she was my woman 

As she deceived me I watched   

And went out of my mind 

 

1. Refrain

My my my Delilah, why why why Delilah 

I could see that girl was no good for me 

But I was lost like a slave 

That no man could free 

 

2. Strophe 

At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting              

I crossed the street to her house 

And she opened the door 

There she stood just laughing 

I felt the knife in my hand 

And she laughed no more 

 

2. Refrain

My my my Delilah, why why why Delilah 

So before they come to break down the floor 

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn’t take anymore 

 

Instrumental 

     

Interlude

Yea, she stood there laughing 

I felt the knife in my hand 

And she laughed no more 

 

3. Refrain

My my my Delilah, why why why Delilah 

So before they come to break down the floor 

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn’t take anymore 

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn’t take anymore
