I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she betrayed me I watched, and went out of my mind
Why, why, why, Delilah?
Why, why, why, Delilah?
I could see that girl was no good for me
Just like a slave I was lost and no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
Well, that's all right, that's all right,
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Well I'm leaving town, baby
