The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

Well, Reverend, Reverend please come quick

'Cause I got something to admit

I met a man out in the sticks

A good old miss

He drove a series 10 Cadillac

And wore a cigar on his lip

Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie?

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

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, I am

Let me learn you some I know

A few tunes to make all the girls dance

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

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 lonely eternal life

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
