作词 : Kristofferson | |
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. | |
Nothin' 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. |
