The Devil Had a Hold of Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now I was just a girl of two Now I was just a girl of two With a golden heart and a button shoe [Chorus] The devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of me [Verse 2] There was something wrong with the butcher's boy Was something wrong with the butcher's boy He trembled in his hand and voice [Chorus] The devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me The others knew to let him be But the devil had a hold of me [Verse 3] Now the tailpipe spit and the engine roared The tailpipe spit and the engine roared I's waving out the Plymouth door [Chorus] And the devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me The old folks saw the last they'd see The devil had a hold of me [Verse 4] I dreamed last night that my time was done I dreamed last night that my time was done And my soul flew up to the holy son [Chorus] But the devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me I snapped back down when he pulled my lead The devil had a hold of me [Verse 5] There're those who'll laugh and not believe There're those who'll laugh and not believe Until you feel that touch upon your sleeve [Chorus] The devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of me [Refrain] I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of me
