The Devil Had a Hold of Me

The Devil Had A Hold Of Me -Gillian Welch

Written by ：T-BONE BURNETT

Now I was just

A girl of two

Now I was just

A girl of two

With a golden heart

And a button shoe

The devil had a hold of me

The devil had a hold of me

I turned my head

And I could see

The devil had a hold of me

There was something wrong

With the butcher's boy

Was something wrong with

The butcher's boy

He trembled in his

Hand and voice

The devil had a hold of me

The devil had a hold of me

The others knew to let him be

But the devil had a hold of me

Now the tailpipe spit and

The engine roared

The tailpipe spit and

The engine roared

I's waving out

The plymouth door

And the devil

Had a hold of me

The devil had a hold of me

The old

Folks saw

The last they'd see

The devil had a hold of me

I dreamed

Last night that

My time was done

I dreamed last night that

My time was done

My soul

Flew up to the holy son

But the devil had a hold of me

The devil had a hold of me

I snapped back down

When he pulled my lead

The devil had a hold of me

There're those who'll

Laugh and not believe

There're those who'll

Laugh and not

Believe

Until you feel that

Touch upon your

Sleeve

The devil had a hold of me

The devil had a hold of me

I turned my head and I could see

The devil had a hold of me

I turned my head and I could see

The devil had a hold of me
