I NEED HELP IDENTIFYING THIS SONG...
It goes something like this....
Why Why Why Why oh Why, why Delila.....
I saw the light on, the night that i passed by her window..I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blinds......she was my woman.....
any help would be appreciated... thanks and jah bless

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 "

@ selecta bing

Was that because you had been smoking the " Green , Green Grass Of Home "
