Warden, I can't sleep
Cause at my bedside, those whispers are speaking to me
Warden, what did I do wrong To be locked up in here all night long
She was my girl, my everything Then I grabbed my four-ten and let it sing
Warden, can you hear me These cursed whispers I'm fearing
I remember before she died All those whispers and her lies
Well, I begged her not to go As she walked out the door
She turned to me and said, I don't love you no more
So I fell to my knees and begged her to stay But she found another and threw it all away
She turned to me and said, while, teary eyed
And she told me how she wished I'd lay on down and die
Warden, can't you understand The things these whispers can do to a man
Well, warden, I know I'm wrong But she made me do it, so I'm singing this here song
She was my girl, my everything So I grabbed my four-ten and let it sing
Yeah, she was my girl, my everything Then I grabbed my four-ten and let it sing
Well, I'll never forget that beautiful name Her name was Delia Jane
