The song is "Delila" (a.k.a "Delilah"). Many have covered this in all kinds of musical genres, but the best-known reggae version is probably the Horace Andy one, and it's available on many compilations. Hope this helps.

" Deliah " dub to be found on " Eternal Dubs Chapter 2 " - a semi-bogus Lee Perry release on Clocktower . ( Also good for a version of " Curly Locks " called " Ital Locks " and its dub " Ital Dub " by Johnny Lover , btw )

TOM JONES had a hit with Delilah.

One time I could not get Tom Jones songs out of my head for a month.
I went to the Doctor.
He said I had Tom Jonesamatoses.
I asked him if it was rare.
He said " IT'S NOT UNUSUAL "
Lick it back Selecta!
