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 soft 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 till 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 'Cause she'll offer her soul 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 she knows he's the devil He's everything that I ain't Hiding intentions of evil intentions 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 till I die We take our own chances and pay our own dues The silver-tongued devil and I © RESACA MUSIC PUBLISHING CO; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
