oh

the devil shall not touch you while i live

devil shall not touch you while i live

well

he crawls across my land

like a snake in the sand

the devil shall not touch you while i stand

they killed every one of carter's sons

they took his wife

his daughters and his guns

and they cut away his head

'fore he was even dead

the devil shall not touch you while i live

ohh

oh

the devil shall not touch you while i live

the devil shall not touch you while i live

jesus christ beside me

my wife

my girls behind me

the devil shall not touch them while i live

they killed my dogs burning down my barn

i heard them laughing

cursing in the corn

first one through that door

he won't curse no more

the devil shall not touch you while i live

ohh

ohh

oh

ohh

oh

well

god ain't hidden in the leaves

ain't love or joy or laughter that he sees

'cause he's in my smith and wesson

and i'm asking for his blessing

to spit the red man's soul into the breeze
