good ol' boy - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

Well, Reverend, Reverend, please come quick
'Cause I got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks of good Ole Miss
He drove a Series 10 Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip

Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie?
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as the cottonfield and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by

Hmm, he said, "I know you, I know you, young man
Well, I know you by the state of your hands
You're a six-string picker, just as I am
Well, let me learn you somethin'
I know a few turns to make all the girls dance"

Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie?
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as the cottonfield and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by

Oh foolish, foolish was I
Damn, my foolish eyes
'Cause that man's lessons had a price, a sweet price
My sweet soul everlasting, a very own eternal light

Don't you know that the devil wears a suit and tie?
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as the cottonfield and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by

Well, the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as the cottonfield and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
