Run devil run, the angels having fun |
|
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done |
|
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, |
|
Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run |
|
By a swamp in Alabama in the cold in the damp |
|
Sittin reading by the light of a kerosene lamp |
|
Lives a holly roller with a mission on her mind |
|
Got to spread the word to anybody she can find |
|
You can hear her screaming any time in night or day |
|
This is what she says to keep the demons away |
|
|
|
Run devil run, the angels having fun |
|
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done |
|
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, |
|
Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run |
|
|
|
Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down |
|
Steppin on the bus that was heading to town |
|
There they started drinking, they got into a fight |
|
The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night |
|
When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail |
|
This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail |
|
|
|
Run devil run, the angels having fun |
|
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done |
|
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, |
|
Listen what I'm saying to you |
|
Run . . . Run Devil Run |
|
|
|
Well by the middle of the summer they were back in the shack |
|
Picking cotton for a livin keep 'em on the right track |
|
Visiting the neighbors trying to spread the good news |
|
Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues |
|
All of them determined to deliver the goods |
|
Now you you hear the music comin out on the woods |
|
|
|
Run devil run, the angel having fun |
|
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done |
|
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, |
|
Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run |
|
|
|
Ah you'd better Run . . . Run Devil Run |
|
You better run . . . |
