Devil's gonna git you Devil's gonna git you Oh, the devil's gonna git you Man, just as sure as you's born Devil's gonna git you, Devil's gonna git you, Oh, the devil's gonna git you, The way you're carryin' on You go away, stay for weeks On your doggone spree Come back home, get in my bed And turn your back on me Oh the devil's gonna git you I mean the devil's gonna git you Man the devil' sgonna git you Sure as you's born Dirty two-timer, dirty two-timer, Dirty two-timer, you ain't coming clean Oh the devil's gonna git you I mean the devil's gonna git you Oh the devil's gonna git you You know what I mean I don't want no two-time stuff From my regular man Don't want nothing that's been used 'Cause it's second-hand The devil's gonna git you Oh the devil's gonna git you Man the devil's gonna git you Sure as you're born to dienone.
