THE SILVER TOUNGED DEVIL AND I - Kris Kristoferson
I tFook myself down to the TC7ally Ho Tavern
To Fbuy me a bottle of Fbeer
I Fsat myself down by a Ftender young Ammaiden
Who's Feyes were as dark as her G7hair
And Fwhile I was searching from C7bottle to bottle
For Fsomething un-foolish to Fsay
That Fsilver tounged devil just Fslipped from the Amshadows
And Fsmilingly G7stole her Faway
chorus: I said Fgirl don't you know he's a Fdevil
FHe's everything that I Fain't
FHiding intentions of Fevil Amunder the Fsmile of a G7saint
All he's Fgood for is getting in Ftrouble
And Fslipping his share of the Fblame
And Fsome people swear he's my Fdouble
And Fsome even say we're the G7same
But the Fsilver-tounged devil's got Fnothing to lose
And FI'll only live 'till I Fdie
We Ftake our own chances and Fpay our own Amdues
The Fsilver tounged G7devil and FI
Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he lied
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
No matter how hard that I tried
'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
Of a world that she's never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
Who'll love her and leave her alone
Repeat chorus
