Michael G Wells - The Devil Has A Good Eye

Found me a pretty girl
With dark and curly hair
She had eyes like a sunrise
And a smile beyond compare
Her smile beyond compare

I decided to make her mine
No matter the cost
Wish I had known then
That I was already lost
I was already lost

I wrote her songs and poetry
And came around to call
Never even realizing
Just how far I'd fall
Just how far I'd fall

The devil has a good eye
For the weakness of a man
And my dark-haired pretty girl
Was all part of his plan
All part of his plan

There's a house deep in the woods
Built on guilt and shame
It cost me my freedom
And lost me my good name
Lost me my good name
Her eyes burned with teardrops
As she told the tale
Her cries drowned out reason
And I could not stand the wail
Could not stand the wail

He was cruel and evil
And always had been
His rage red and angry
As the marks on her skin
As the marks on her skin

But the devil has a good eye
For the weakness of a man
And my dark-haired pretty girl
Helped explain his plan
Helped explain his plan

I waited for the moonless night
And crept into the wood
But I wasn't the only one
Was up to no good
Was up to no good

The devil has a good eye
For the weakness of a man
And my dark-haired pretty girl
Helped him make the plan
Helped him make the plan

I stood there pistols empty
My breath a ragged rasp
He fell limp on the cold floor
And then he breathed his last
Then he breathed his last

She screamed in terror
And ran through the open door
To the waiting arms of the sheriff
Who she'd called before
Who she's called before

Her eyes burned with teardrops
As she told the tale
Her cries broke the Jury
They could not stand the wail
They could not stand the wail

The devil has a good eye
For the weakness of a man
And my dark-haired pretty girl
Was all along his plan
All along his plan
