"Hey There Delialah"

Hey there Delilah what's it like with owner Shitty
I'm a hundred miles away
But horse today you have my pity, yes you do
You're not worth 2,000 dollars even though you're blue, I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah don't you worry your name's spelled wrong
'Cause anyway most people have only heard of it in song
Close your eyes, listen to my frustrated sighs
I'm on your side
Oh the crap they do to you Oh the crap they do to you Oh the crap they do to you Oh the crap they do to you What should I do
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard
But if your owner thinks a greenbroke horse will pay her bills then she's a 'tard
This isn't good, I wish you had the life you really should
Wish you understood
Hey there Delilah, I've got so much left to say
Like even though you were mom at two
I wish I could take you away,
I'd buy you now
Even more in love with you I'd fall, I just wanna bawl
Oh the crap they do to you Oh the crap they do to you Oh the crap they do to you Oh the crap they do to you
A hundred miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
But our paths were never meant to cross
The best I can do for you is write this silly song
And hope it gets my point across
Delilah I can promise you
Without more facts no one will buy you
No height no health and misspelled name
And your owner's all to blame
Hey there Delilah
Are you broke English or is it Western
One more thing I need to know and then
I swear I'll be done with questions
You'll know it's all because of you
I write this blog for gals like you
Dear Delilah here's to you
But what else can I do?
Oh the hurt this does to me Oh the hurt this does to me Oh the hurt this does to me Oh the hurt this does to me What I see I can't unsee...
Poor Delilah :(
ReplyDeleteWell, on the bright side, if she's asking $2k for a horse whose training, as far as I can tell, has gone little further than having someone get on her back, at least the horse isn't going to get picked up for kill. At least not quickly. I'm really trying hard to find a bright side here.
