Della & the Dealer

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

It rolled off west where the wild sun sets
And the coyotes 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 Tucson way there's a small cafe
Where they play a little cowboy tune
A guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Andy Boone

Yeah, Andy 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

Yeah, the dealer was a killer, he was evil and mean
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes
He reached for his gun from under his cloak
And he swore that Boone would die

And the stage was set when the lights went out
There was death in Tucson town
Two shadows ran for the far back door
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 the dog and the cat ran too
The tyres 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

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
