Della And The Dealer Lyrics

Della And The Dealer lyrics

Della And The Dealer

 Hoyt Axton

 Words and music Hoyt Axton

 

 It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake

 And a cat named Kalamazoo.

 Left the city in a pick up truck,

 Gonna make some dreams come true.

 

 Yea,they rolled out west where the wild sun sets

 And the coyote bays at the moon.

 Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake

 and a cat named Kalamazoo

 

 Chorus:

 If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell

 About Della and the Dealer and the dog

 as well

 But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word.

 

 Down Tucson way there's a small cafe

 Where they play a little cowboy tune.

 And the guitar picker was a friend of mine

 By the name of Randy Boone.

 

 Yea, Randy played her a sweet love song

 And Della got a fire in her eye

 The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun

 and the cat had a shot of Rye.

 

 Repeat CHORUS

 

 Yea , the dealer was a killer,

 He was evil and mean

 And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.

 

 He snorted his coke through a century note

 And swore that Boone would die.

 

 The stage was set when the lights went out.

 There was death in Tucson town.

 Two shadows ran for the bar back door

 And one stayed on the ground

 

 Repeat CHORUS

 

 Two shadows ran from the bar that night

 And dog and cat ran too.

 And the tires got hot on the pick up truck

 As down the road they flew.

 

 It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake

 And a cat named Kalamazoo.

 Left Tucson in a pick-up truck

 Gonna make some dreams come true.

 

 CHORUS
