I’m pretty sure that would be “Delilah” originally done by Tom Jones

i emailed you, dave, but then i saw i didn’t fill this out. the song is delilah, orig done by tom jones, and on first blush it sounded like jim morrison to me, but research tells me alex harvey of the SAHB.
mike mscho on Mon, 14th Jul 2008 4:47 am
Well…it’s Delilah orig by Tom Jones….hmmm is this Flogging Molly?
renfield on Tue, 15th Jul 2008 5:01 pm
the voice is so familiar…
at first i thought peter frampton since he was the last mystery…
thinking you’d try to be clever
but i’m hearing a little ‘harry chapin’ in the voice…
but i’m still going to work on it….
Trishabug on Thu, 17th Jul 2008 1:28 am
