Silver Tongued Devil And I Lyrics

I took myself down to the Tally-Ho Tavern to buy me a bottle of beer

I sae me down by a tender young maiden

Whose eyes were as dark as her hair

And as I was searchin' 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 a 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

And shifting 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 nothing to lose

I'd only live till 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

But nothing that I could have said could've saved her

No matter how hard that she tried

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

Of something that she's never known

And open her arms at the smile of a stranger

Who'll love her and leave her alone

I said hey little girl...
