The Silver Tongued Devil And I |
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern, |
To buy me a bottle of beer. |
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden, |
Who’s eyes were as dark as her hair. |
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle, |
For something un-foolish to say. |
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows, |
And smilingly stole her away. |
I said: «Hey, little girl, don’t you know he’s the devil. |
«He's everything that I ain’t. |
«Hiding intentions of evil, |
«Under the smile of a saint. |
«All he’s good for is getting in trouble, |
«And shiftin' his share of the blame. |
«And some people swear he’s my double: |
«And some even say we’re the same. |
«But the silver-tongued devil’s got nothing to lose, |
«I'll only live 'til I die. |
«We take our own chances and pay our own dues, |
«The silver tongued devil and I.» |
Like all the fair maidens who’ve laid down beside him, |
She knew in her heart that he’d lied. |
Nothin' that I could have said could have saved her, |
No matter how hard that she tried. |
'Cos she’ll offer her charms to the darkness and danger, |
Of somethin' that she’s never known. |
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger, |
Who’ll love her and leave her alone. |
And you know, he’s the devil. |
He’s everything that I ain’t. |
Hiding intentions of evil, |
Under the smile of a saint. |
All he’s good for is getting in trouble, |
And shiftin' his share of the blame. |
And some people swear he’s my double: |
And some even say we’re the same. |
But the silver-tongued devil’s got nothing to lose, |
I’ll only live 'til I die. |
We take our own chances and pay our own dues, |
Ah ha ha ha. |
The silver tongued devil and I. |
