The Silver Tongued Devil And I

[00:03.05] I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
[00:08.71] To buy me a bottle of beer
[00:12.47] And I sat me down by a tender young maiden
[00:17.22] Whose eyes were as soft as her hair
[00:21.99] And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
[00:27.83] For something unfoolish to say
[00:31.52] That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows
[00:36.37] And smilingly stole her away
[00:40.09] I said hey, little girl don't you know, he's the devil
[00:45.70] He's everything that I ain't
[00:50.41] Hiding intentions of evil
[00:55.22] Under the smile of a saint
[00:59.92] All he's good for is gettin' in trouble
[01:04.60] And shifting his share of the blame
[01:09.39] And some people swear he's my double
[01:14.06] And some even say we're the same
[01:17.76] But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
[01:23.24] And I'll only live 'till I die
[01:28.91] We take our own chances, and pay our own dues
[01:33.67] The silver tongued devil and I
[01:39.31] Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him
[01:46.82] She knew in her heart that he'd lied
[01:51.64] Nothing that I could have said could have saved her
[01:56.34] No matter how hard that she tried
[02:01.01] 'Cause she'll offer her soul to the darkness and danger
[02:06.75] Of something that she's never known
[02:10.48] And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
[02:16.03] Who'll love her and leave her alone
[02:19.86] And she know's he's the devil
[02:24.65] He's everything that I ain't
[02:30.90] Hiding intentions of evil intentions
[02:35.52] Under the smile of a saint
[02:39.36] All he's good for is gettin' in trouble
[02:44.07] And shifting his share of the blame
[02:49.65] And some people swear he's my double
[02:53.46] And some even say we're the same
[02:58.10] But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
[03:03.87] And I'll only live 'till I die
[03:08.43] We take our own chances, and pay our own dues
[03:15.10] The silver tongued devil and I
[03:25.57]
