Devil Had Blue Eyes

There was a girl in Upshur county, she fell in love with a traveling man

You know he come from the wrong side of the tracks but she liked holding his hand

It came it pass one Sunday, when he was rolling in a Coupe de Ville

He said it's time to ride outside the city limits down through the cotton fields, oh down through the cotton fields

The kind of man mama told me not to chase

Southern souls will lead you far from grace

The good book says don't believe his lies

Oh but nobody told me the devil had blue eyes

She sat next to the preacher man with a few things to admit

She said I followed desire straight through the fire just for the hell of it

Just for the hell of it

The kind of man mama told me not to chase

Southern souls will lead you far from grace

The good book says don't believe his lies

Oh but nobody told me the devil had blue eyes

Father please forgive me I have sinned

And you don't know half the places I've been

The good book says don't believe his lies

Oh but nobody told me the devil had blue eyes

Oh nobody told me the devil had blue eyes

Oh nobody told me the devil had blue eyes
