The Silver Tougued Devil And I

歌曲歌詞

I took myself down to the tally ho tavern

To buy me a bottle of beer

I sat me down by a tender young maiden

Who's eyes were as dark as her hair

And as I was searching from bottles to bottles

Of something unfoolish 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

Shifting his share of the blame

Some people swear he's my double

Some even say we're the same

But that 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

That silver tongued devil and I

I call 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 I tried

Cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger

Of world that she's never known

And open her arms at the smile of a stranger

Who'll love her and leave her alone
