When all the ladies heard that he was dead   Some wore orange dresses   And some wore red      When all the ladies heard that he had died   He could hear them wailing   All the way on the other side      Police officer   Walked onto the plan   Don't come any closer   Said Curtis to the man      Curtis said to Delia as she turned to walk away   You so very beautiful but you gonna die someday      Judge he said to Curtis   What's this noise about   Curtis said these evil men   Are trying to put me out      When all the ladies heard that he was dead   Some wore black dresses   And some wore red      He unhooked his revolver and pulled on his gloves   Just before he folded King Queen Jack Ten Nine of clubs      He saw Delia leaning over by the door   Stood at the table and he pulled his forty four      Delia started crying fell on her knees to pray   Delia begged for mercy but there would be hell to pay      When all the ladies heard that he was dead   Some wore orange dresses   And some wore red      When all the ladies heard that he had died   He could hear them wailing   All the way on the other side      Curtis said Your Honor   What might be my fine?   The judge said Poor Boy   You get ninety nine   Other existence identity light   Mojo come to my house then back into the night      Delia was a gambling girl she would scream and shout   She placed a rose at MojoÕs tomb then blew the candle out      When all the ladies heard that he was dead   Some wore orange dresses   And some wore red      When all the ladies heard that he had died   He could hear them wailing   All the way on the other side
