The Devil Had A Hold Of Me

Lyrics

Now I was just a girl of two
 Now I was just a girl of two
 With a golden heart and a button shoe
 The devil had a hold of me
 The devil had a hold of me
 I turned my head and I could see
 The devil had a hold of me
 There was something wrong with the butcher's boy
 There was something wrong with the butcher's boy
 He trembled in his hand and voice
 The devil had a hold of me
 The devil had a hold of me
 The others knew to let him be
 But the devil had a hold of me
 The tailpipe spit and the engine roared
 The tailpipe spit and the engine roared
 I's waving out a Plymouth door
 And the devil had a hold of me
 The devil had a hold of me
 The old folks saw the last they'd see
 The devil had a hold of me
 I dreamed last night that my time was done
 I dreamed last night that my time was done
 And my soul flew up to the holy son
 But the devil had a hold of me
 The devil had a hold of me
 I snapped back down when he pulled my lead
 The devil had a hold of me
 There're those who'll laugh and not believe
 There're those who'll laugh and not believe
 Until you feel that touch upon your sleeve
 The devil had a hold of me
 The devil had a hold of me
 I turned my head and I could see
 The devil had a hold of me
 I turned my head and I could see
 The devil had a hold of me
