Slaid Cleaves - Devil's lullaby lyrics
[Slaid Cleaves - Devil's lullaby lyrics]
Their white boots on
Drinking all their pay before
They make it home, so were staying
Diggy liggy li, diggy liggy lo
That's the song you better
Know if you're playing
The women whistle and the fiddles whine
Sounds like the devil's lullaby
Rattle snake race i found myself in
Landlady notfied my next of
Kin and i'm rambling
Left a crying pregnant teenage bride
Grandmother kneeling by her side
They were praying
San patricio hear their cry
I'm playing the devil's lullaby
I sang the song when i was young
About the power in the blood
But jesus he can't save me, i'm crusified
The devil's lullaby
So i sang the songs of a rose tattoo
A sailor's heart with a girl
Untrue under the street lamp
All the skirt chasing and freebasing
How the scarlet flows where she sliced
Me good with a razor
The sirens wail and church bells chime
Playing me the devil's lullaby
The women whistle and the fiddles whine
Playing the devil's lullaby
(drums, bass, acoustic baritone guitar)
