The Silver Tongued Devil and I

In the style of

Kris Kristofferson

Lyrics

i took myself down to
the tally ho tavern
to buy me a bottle of beer

i sat me down by a tender
young maiden

whose eyes were as dark
as her hair

and as i was searching
from bottle to bottle

for something unfoolish to say

that silver tongued devil
just slipped from the shadows

and smilingly stole her away

i said hey, little girl
don't you know he's the devil

he's everything that i ain't

hidin' intentions of evil

under the smile of a saint

all he's good for is
gettin' in trouble

shiftin' his share of the blame

and some people swear
he's my double

and some even say
we're the same

but the silver tongued devil's
got nothin' to lose

i'll only live 'til i die

we take our own chances
and pay our own dues

the silver tongued devil and i

like all the fair maidens
who've laid down beside him

she knew in her heart
that he'd lied

nothin' that i could have said
could have saved her

no matter how hard
that she tried

'cos she'll offer her charms
to the darkness and danger

of somethin' that
she's never known

and open her arms
at the smile

of a stranger

who'll love her

and leave her alone

and you know he's the devil
he's everything that i ain't

hidin' intentions of evil
under the smile of a saint

all he's good for is
getting' in trouble

and shiftin' his share
of the blame

and some people swear
he's my double

and some even say
we're the same

but the silver tongued devil's
got nothin' to lose

i'll only live 'til i die

we take our own chances
and pay our own dues

ah ha

the silver tongued devil and i
