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 a cotton field and sharp as a knife

I heard him howling as he passed me by

And he said "I know you, I know you young man

"I know you by the state of your hands

"You're a six-string picker, just as I am

"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 a cotton field 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,

oh 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 a cotton field 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 a cotton field and sharp as a knife

I heard him howling as he passed me by
