(J.J. Dupree)

As the devil beats his wife tonight

All hell is breaking loose

Across a blackened sky

And it makes me wonder what she done

It makes me wonder why

Did she forget to make his bed?

Did she burn his dinner bread (why)?

Did she mix his drink too strong?

What did she do so God damn wrong (why)?

(Chorus)

Speak of the devil, hey mister devil speak to me

Speak of the devil, hey mister devil speak to me

Speak of the devil, hey mister devil speak to me

Out of the frying pan into the fire

Out of me this devil jumps again

As the little one looks on to see his daddy

Growing horns here in this devil's den

Thunder rolls across the sky

Lightning strikes then goodbye (again)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I never meant to be the bearer of bad news

Out of the mouths of babes comes the truth I lose

Speak of the devil, look what I have done

Look what I have done (X3)
