Hi Bob,

Thanks for your post.

I just looked at the John Garst post (origin delia)thread.cfm?threadid=32430
so that clears up some things for me. Q has also posted some good info. There's actually a lot of info in the DT. I just didn't see much in the Traditional Ballad Index relating the songs.

Here are two more lyrics from Delia that show up in White House Blues/Mr. McKinley songs:

"A rubber tire buggy,
A double seated hack
Took little Delia to the graveyard
And they never brought her back."


"Drinking out the silver cup"
