The Devil Had a Hold of Me |
| Now I was just a girl of two |
| Now I was just a girl of two |
| With a golden heart and a button shoe |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| I turned my head and I could see |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| There was something wrong with the butcher’s boy |
| Was something wrong with the butcher’s boy |
| He trembled in his hand and voice |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| The others knew to let him be |
| But the devil had a hold of me |
| Now the tailpipe spit and the engine roared |
| The tailpipe spit and the engine roared |
| I’s waving out the Plymouth door |
| And the devil had a hold of me |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| The old folks saw the last they’d see |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| I dreamed last night that my time was done |
| I dreamed last night that my time was done |
| And my soul flew up to the holy son |
| But the devil had a hold of me |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| I snapped back down when he pulled my lead |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| There’re those who’ll laugh and not believe |
| There’re those who’ll laugh and not believe |
| Until you feel that touch upon your sleeve |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| I turned my head and I could see |
| The devil had a hold of me |
| I turned my head and I could see |
| The devil had a hold of me |
