| 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 |
