GUEST,Phil d'Conch Origins: Delia / Delia's Gone (70* d) RE: Origins: Delia / Delia's Gone 22 Jun 16


Artist Alice Pashley's c.1929 version, another by-product of the Peas an' Rice thread:

Rubber tyred buggy, double-seated hack,
Carry poor Delia to de graveyard and never bring her back.
Delia gone, Delia gone.

Parson in de pulpit, telling all dem lies;
Ebry time a funral pass he roll dem goo-goo eyes,
Delia gone, Delia gone.

Parson in de pulpit, trying to save his soul,
his wife is at de corner selling jelly roll,
Delia gone, Delia gone.


Ackknowledgement
The six songs with music were taken down by Mrs. Alice Pashley.
[Defries, Amelia, The Fortunate Islands, (London: Cecil Palmer, 1929, p.xxi)]
