Michelle Turley Delilah lyrics

Delila's heart belongs to another
She's married and got kids at home
Her life is turning out
Like her mothers
She's not sure how to cope

She's got a man
Who lives in the valley
He's loves her and wants her to stay
He says, I am a patient man
And I'll make you mine one day

Daniel knows what his wife is a doing
He watches and let's her go
For the sake of the kids he keeps them together
Tries not to break their home
He says that soon, it will all be over
Convinces himself to stay
(He says) It's a phase she's a goin through
She'll come back to me one day

Oh Delila, Why Delila,
Are you happy now
With the life you're living
You reap'n what you sow

Delila woke one morning to the sound
Of a shot, from a gun

There lay the body of her man from the valley
His living days were done
Daniel stood with a stone cold face
Shotgun in his hand
He said, I am a patient man
But I waited as long as I can

For Delila, my Delila
Are you happy now with the life your living
You reaping what you sow
What's inside ya dear Delila
Are you happy now with the price you'll
Be paying while you watch
Your garden grow

Police rode up, took away the body
Handcuffed Daniel's hands
The kids were crying, Don't take my daddy
Mama tell them, he's a good man
Delila said Lord what have I done
Please don't take Daniel away
(The officer said) I'm a patient man
But you'll visit him in jail one day

(Repeat chorus)
