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...
