♪♫ Delilah By Tom Jones (Acoustic Guitar Cover)
"Delilah" was a song written by Les Reed, with lyrics by Barry Mason and recorded by Tom Jones in 1968. It reached No 1 in the charts of several countries including Germany and Switzerland. It reached No 2 in the British charts in March 1968 and was the sixth best selling single of that year. The US Billboard chart records its highest position as 15.

Welsh rugby fans adopted Delilah as their unofficial anthem after Tom Jones performed it before Wales's historic rugby victory over England at Wembley Stadium in 1999.
