The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well Reverend, Reverend, please come quick 'Cause I 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 [Chorus] Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie? I saw him driving down The 61 in early July White as a cottonfield and sharp as a knife I heard him howling as he passed me by [Verse 2] 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 somethin': I know a few turns to make all the girls dance" [Chorus] Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie? I saw him driving down The 61 in early July White as a cottonfield and sharp as a knife I heard him howling as he passed me by [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Don't you know that the devil wears a suit and tie? I saw him driving down The 61 in early July White as a cottonfield and sharp as a knife I heard him howling as he passed me by Well, the devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down The 61 in early July White as a cottonfield and sharp as a knife I heard him howling as he passed me by
