Devil's Daughter Lyrics

I met the Devils daughter

Way down in the holler

In Pike county

Where the coal used to flow

She said I know you boy,

I've seen your kind around here

You're a six string beater

Just like my pa

And if you play for me

I'll give you corn liquor

And the pills and powder

Your every desire

Well my ma told me

Be careful of these hills

It's where the Devils daughter dwells

And she'll try to make a deal

I have an eye for trouble

And my life is full of pain

I reckon you'll never change

Your evil ways

And I might be a sinful man

But I can tell the difference in

The gift of gab and silver tongue serpent

Well my ma told me

Be careful of these hills

It's where the Devils daughter dwells

And she'll think of you a meal

The trees turned to ash

And the creek dried up

The sky's darker than an

Ol coal mining shaft

And I'm strapped for sound

I reckon I can play you a round

Well my hands feel

Right down to my side

And I grabbed that ever loving

44 of mine

Stead as the mountain

I squeezed the trigger

And I put six rounds into the

Devils daughter

I met the Devils daughter

Way down in the holler

In Pike county

Where the coal used to flow
