Thread Name: Origin: Delia's Gone (J. Cash version)
Subject: RE: Delia's Gone (J. Cash version)
"Rubber tired buggy rubber tired hack
They took poor Delia to the graveyard
They ain't gonna bring her back"
Reminds me of a verse usually found in St. James Infirmary . . .
"Sixteen coal black horses
All hitched to a rubber tired hack
Carried seven girls to the graveyard
Only six of them come back."
I'm writing from memory, but I think those are the lines - can't remember the source, though.
