Della and the Dealer Songtext

von Don Fardon

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
Yeah they rolled out west where the wild sun sets and the coyottes bay at the moon
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake and a cat named Kalamazoo
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 mumbling word
Down Tuscon 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
Now Randy played her a sweet love song, and Della got a fire in her eyes
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun and the cat had a shot of Rye
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 mumbling word
Now 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 he swore that Boone would die
Yeah the stage was set when the lights went out, there was death in Tucson town
Two shadows ran for the bar backdoor, and one stayed on the ground
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 mumbling word
Two shadows ran from the bar that night, and a dog and a 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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 mumbling word
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 mumbling word
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 mumbling word
