|
| By a swamp in Alabama in the cold in the damp
|
| Sittin reading by the light of a kerosene lamp
|
| Lives a holly roller with a mission on her mind
|
| Got to spread the word to anybody she can find
|
| You can hear her screaming any time in night or day
|
| This is what she says to keep the demons away
|
| Run devil run, the angels having fun
|
| Making winners out of sinners better leave before it’s done
|
| When he gets through, he’ll be coming after you
|
| Listen what I’m saying to you Run. |

|
| Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down
|
| Steppin on the bus that was heading to town
|
| There they started drinking, they got into a fight
|
| The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night
|
| When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail
|
| This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail
|
| Run devil run, the angels having fun
|
| Making winners out of sinners better leave before it’s done
|
| When he gets through, he’ll be coming after you
|
| Listen what I’m saying to you Run. |

|
| Well by the middle of the summer they were back in the shack
|
| Picking cotton for a living keep them on the right track
|
| Visiting the nieghbours trying to spread the good news
|
| Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues
|
| All of them determined to deliver the goods
|
| Now you you hear the music comin out on the woods
|
| Run devil run, the angels having fun
|
| Making winners out of sinners better leave before it’s done
|
| When he gets through, he’ll be coming after you
|
| Listen what I’m saying to you Run. |
| .. Run Devil Run
|
| Ah you’ld better Run. |
| .. Run Devil Run
|
| You better Run. |
