歌曲歌詞
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
Nothing 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
The silver tongued devil and I
