THE SILVER TOUNGED DEVIL AND I - Kris Kristoferson
I tGook myself down to the TG7ally Ho Tavern
To Cbuy me a bottle of Gbeer
I Csat myself down by a Gtender young Emmaiden
Who's Ceyes were as dark as her D7hair
And Gwhile I was searching from G7bottle to bottle
For Csomething un-foolish to Gsay
That Csilver tounged devil just Gslipped from the Emshadows
And Csmilingly D7stole her Gaway
chorus: I said Cgirl don't you know he's a Gdevil
CHe's everything that I Gain't
CHiding intentions of Gevil Emunder the Csmile of a D7saint
All he's Cgood for is getting in Gtrouble
And Cslipping his share of the Gblame
And Csome people swear he's my Gdouble
And Csome even say we're the D7same
But the Csilver-tounged devil's got Gnothing to lose
And CI'll only live 'till I Gdie
We Ctake our own chances and Gpay our own Emdues
The Csilver tounged D7devil and GI
Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he lied
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
No matter how hard that I tried
'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
Of a world that she's never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
Who'll love her and leave her alone
Repeat chorus
