Devil Did The Deed (Not Me)

Running scared, got a cross to bear

Praying for relief

Southbound, over hallowed ground

Hiding from the heat

They say he shot a man, for a hundred grand

But he swears you best believe

He say the devil did the deed not me

The devil did the deed not me

So you know, how the story goes

How he claimed his plight

Sold his soul, down an old dirt road

Late one moonlit night

He met a girl, promised his whole world

Said he’d give her anything

When the devil heard him sing

She played him like a king

Oh, oh, won’t let me go, Devil won’t set me free

Oh, oh won’t let me go, Devil got a hold on me

Oh, oh, won’t let me go, Hellhounds at my feet

Oh, oh, won’t let me go, Haunted for eternity

Oh, oh, won’t let me go, Devil won’t set me free

Oh, oh won’t let me go, Devil got a hold on me

Oh, oh, won’t let me go, Hellhounds at my feet

Oh, oh, won’t let me go, Haunted for eternity

All in vain, for the devil’s game

When she wants a little fun

A pawn in play, for a rainy day

When the demon’s work is done

For every crime, he’ll do his time

With this his only plea

He say the devil did the deed not me

The devil did the deed not me

Oh she keep on taunting me

The devil did the deed not me
