Kris Kristofferson - Silver Tongued Devil lyrics

Your rating:

To buy me a bottle of beer
 I sat myself down by a tender young maiden
 Who's eyes were as dark as her hair
 And while I was searching from bottle to bottle
 For something un-foolish to say
 That silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows
 And smilingly stole her away

 Refrain:
       I said girl don't you know he's a devil
 	He's everything that I ain't
 	Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
 	All he's good for is getting in trouble
 	And slipping his share of the blame
 	And some people swear he's my double
 	And some even say we're the same
 	But the silver-tounged devil's got nothing to lose
 	And I'll only live 'till I die
 	We take our own chances and pay our own dues
 	The silver tounged devil and I

 Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him
 She knew in her heart that he lied
 But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
 No matter how hard that I tried
 'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
 Of a world that she's never known
 And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
 Who'll love her and leave her alone
