Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey
[Verse 2]
True love
True love
True love
True love
True love is the Devil's bombshell
It's the Devil's dragstrip
It's the Devil's stock car
It's the Devil's nightshade
[Verse 3]
Quicksand (Quicksand)
Sick bed, sick bed
Punchbowl (Punchbowl)
(Low blow) Low blow
[Verse 4]
True love is the Devil's yes-man (Oh, yeah, man)
It's the Devil's hothouse
It's the Devil's lunchbox
It's the Devil's wishbone
True love is the Devil's doorknob
It's the Devil's pass key
It is the Devil's choke hold
It's the Devil's widow
[Verse 5]
True love (True love)
True love (True love)
Lay off (Heave ho)
Lean to (Low blow)
[Verse 6]
True love is the Devil's countdown
It's the Devil's ABC's

I've been workin' on the railroad
All the live-long day (All the live-long day)
Oh, black Betty (Bam-a-lam)
