I've got the devil in my heart
I've got his song upon my lips
Every time she moves her hips
I've got the devil in my heart
I've got the warpath in my blood
I've got the scalps of fifty men
It's hard to stop once you begin
When you've got the devil in your heart
She broke my heart in Comancheria
On the day the Spanish came
She took me far into the desert
How can I be the one to blame
When she's got the devil in her heart
Every time she moves her lips
She's like a tempest or eclipse
She's got the devil in her heart
I met the devil way out west
He had a star upon his chest
The posse followed us out there
Forty days without no rest
He said, "the line of good and evil
Runs down the heart of every man
It's only then you'll understand
That you've got the devil in your heart"
I reached for my gun. He reached for his
He had that smile upon his lips
He didn't see my slight of hand
When I shot the devil in the heart
I shot the devil in the heart
On the day the Spanish came
How can I be the one to blame
When I've got the devil in my heart
