There was something wrong with the butcher's boy
Was something wrong with the butcher's boy
He trembled in his hand and voice
The devil had a hold of me (x2)
The others knew to let him be
But the devil had a hold of me
Now the tailpipe spit and the engine roared
The tailpipe spit and the engine roared
I's waving out the 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
Instrumental
I dreamed last night that my time was done (x2)
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
Instrumental
There're those who'll laugh and not believe (x2)
Until you feel that touch upon your sleeve
The devil had a hold of me (x2)
I turned my head and I could see
The devil had a hold of me (x2)
