the devil wears a suit and tie

well

reverend

reverend please come quick

'cause i've got something to admit

i met a man out in the sticks

of good ole miss

he drove a series 10 cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip

don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie

saw him driving down the 61' in early july

white as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

i heard him howling as he passed me by

and he said

i know you

i know you young man

i know you by the state of your hands

you're a six-string picker

just as i am

let me learn you something

i know a few turns to make all the girls dance

don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie

saw him driving down the 61' in early july

white as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

i heard him howling as he passed me by

oh

foolish

foolish was i

damn my foolish eyes

'cause that man's lessons

had a price

oh sweet price

my sweet soul

everlasting

a very own eternal light

don't you know that the devil wears a suit and tie

saw him driving down the 61' in early july

white as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

i heard him howling as he passed me by

well

the devil wears a suit and tie
