gonna leave me mean
gonna make me holler
boys i’ve been
with the Devil’s only daughter
gonna leave my heart
gonna take my soul
don’t know where to start
don’t, nowhere to go
gonna take my cornbread
gonna leave my beans
gonna leave my bed boys
gonna take my dreams
feels like drowning
in holy water
when you try to get down
with the Devil’s only daughter.
CH
she taught me things
i still don’t know, oh oh
oh why she came
oh why she has to go
but there she goes boys
she was never mine
there’s no lights a flashing
she’s taking her time
the devil’s only daughter
don’t look back
she’s a locomotive
i’m lying flat
i’d get off the tracks boys
if you know what’s good
i know you won’t boys
i just know you should
who’s next in line
to think he caught her
only to find
the Devil’s only daughter.
CH
