I took myself down to the tally ho tavern [00:00:05]
To buy me a bottle of beer [00:00:10]
I sat me down by a tender young maiden [00:00:16]
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair [00:00:21]
And as I was searching from bottles to bottles [00:00:26]
Of something unfoolish to say [00:00:32]
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows [00:00:37]
And smilingly stole her away [00:00:42]
I said hey little girl don't you know he's the devil [00:00:46]
He's everything that I ain't [00:00:53]
Hiding intentions of evil [00:00:59]
Under the smile of a saint [00:01:04]
All he's good for is getting in trouble [00:01:08]
Shifting his share of the blame [00:01:14]
Some people swear he's my double [00:01:20]
Some even say we're the same [00:01:25]
But that silver tongued devil's got nothing to lose [00:01:30]
I'll only live till I die [00:01:36]
We take our own chances and pay our own dues [00:01:41]
That silver tongued devil and I [00:01:50]
I call the fair maidens who've laid down beside him [00:02:01]
She knew in her heart that he'd lied [00:02:06]
Nothing that I could have said could have saved her [00:02:12]
No matter how hard that I tried [00:02:17]
Cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger [00:02:21]
Of world that she's never known [00:02:27]
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger [00:02:33]
Who'll love her and leave her alone [00:02:38]
I said hey little girl don't you know he's the devil [00:02:42]
He's everything that I ain't [00:02:49]
Hiding intentions of evil [00:02:54]
Under the smile of a saint [00:03:00]
All he's good for is getting in trouble [00:03:04]
Shifting his share of the blame [00:03:10]
Some people swear he's my double [00:03:16]
Some even say we're the same [00:03:21]
But that silver tongued devil's got nothing to lose [00:03:26]
I'll only live till I die [00:03:32]
We take our own chances and pay our own dues [00:03:37]
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha [00:03:45]
That silver tongued devil and I [00:03:49]
