Della And The Dealer

D
It was Della and the Dealer and a dog name Jake,

     G
And a cat named Kalamazoo,

F                    Bb
Left the city in a pickup truck --

       G                     D
Gonna make some dreams come true.

       D
Well, they rolled out west where the wild sun sets,

          G
And the coyote bays at the moon,

    F                       Bb
Della and the Dealer and a dog name Jake,

       G               D
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
         D
If that cat could talk, what a tale he'd tell

        A
'Bout Della and the Dealer and the dog, as well,

                                                   D
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin' word.
Down Tucson way there's an old cafe
Where they play a country tune;
The guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Randy Boone.
Well, Randy played her a sweet love song,
And Della got a fire in her eye:
The Dealer had a gun, and the dog had a knife,
And the cat had a shot of rye.

(Repeat Refrain)

Well, the Dealer was a killer, he was evil and mean,
And he was jealous of the fire in her eye;
He snorted his coke through a century note,
And he swore that Boone would die.
Well, the stage was set when the lights went out,
There was death in Tucson town;
Bodies ran for the bar back door,
But one stayed on the ground.

(Repeat Refrain)

Two bodies ran from the bar that night,
And a dog and a cat ran, too;
The tires got hot on the pickup truck
As down the road they flew.
It was Della and her love and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo,
Left Tucson in a pickup truck,
Gonna make some dreams come true.

(Repeat Refrain)
