Devil's Lullaby

	  		Intro 
A 
         E 
When the shrimpers hit town 

With their white boots on 

Drinkin' all their pay 

Before they make it home 
          A 
And we're stayin' 
E 
Diggy liggy lie, diggy liggy lo 

That's the song that you better know 
        A 
If your playin' 
D                                 A 
The women whistle and the fiddles whine 
E                       A 
Sounds like the devil's lullaby 

         E 
Well the rattlesnake race I found myself in 

The landlady notified my next of kin  
        A 
And I'm ramblin' 
       E 
Left a cryin' pregnant teenage bride 

Grandmother kneeling by her side 
          A 
They were praying 
D                        A 
San Patricio, Hear their cry 
E                   A 
Playin' the devil's lullaby 

D                A 
Sang a song when I was young 
E               A 
About the power in the blood 
D              A 
Jesus he can't save me  
         E 
I'm crucified 
               
Devil's lullaby 

A  E  A 

     E 
So I sang a song of a rose tattoo 

A sailor's heart with a girl untrue 
          A 
under the street lamp 
        E 
All the skirt chasin' and free basin' 

And the scarlet flows where she slashed me good 
       A 
With a razor 
D                                A 
Sirens wail and the church bells chime 
E                        A 
Play me the devil's lullaby 

D                                 A 
The women whistle and the fiddles whine 
E                             A 
Sounds like the devil's lullaby 

The devil's lullaby
