The Devil Had a Hold Of Me
Gillian Welch
Now I was just a girl of two Now I was just a girl of two With a golden heart and a button shoe 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 There was something wrong with the butcher's boy Was something wrong with the butcher's boy He trembled in his hand and voice 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 Now the tailpipe spit and the engine roared The tailpipe spit and the engine roared I's waving out the Plymouth door 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 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 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 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 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 I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of meAmericana-folk-siso vrouwen country
