Never Let The Devil Get The Upper Hand Of You - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]
My tender parents brought me up [00:00:04]
Provided for me well[00:00:09]
Was in the city of Lanson town[00:00:13]
They placed me in a mill[00:00:17]
It was there I spied a pretty fair miss[00:00:23]
On whom I cast my eye[00:00:27]
I asked her if she'd marry me[00:00:31]
And she believed a lie[00:00:36]
Three weeks ago last Saturday night [00:00:49]
Of course it was the day[00:00:54]
The devil put it in my mind to take her life away[00:00:58]
I went into her sister's house[00:01:07]
At eight o'clock one night[00:01:12]
But little did the critter think on her[00:01:16]
I had my spite[00:01:21]
I asked her[00:01:33]
If she'd take a walk with me a little way[00:01:35]
That she and I might have a talk[00:01:42]
About our wedding day[00:01:46]
We walked along until we came to[00:01:51]
My little desert place[00:01:56]
I grabbed this stick off of the fence[00:02:00]
And struck her in the face[00:02:04]
I run my fingers[00:02:17]
Through her coal-black hair to cover up my sins[00:02:19]
I drug her to the riverside[00:02:25]
And there I plunged her in[00:02:30]
I started back unto my mill I met my servant John[00:02:35]
He asked me why I was so pale[00:02:43]
And it so very warm[00:02:47]
Come all young men and warning take [00:03:01]
Unto your lovers be true[00:03:05]
And never let the Devil get the upper hand of you[00:03:09]
