Devil On the Left

Down in the Delta, there's a tattoo parlor With a black and white picture hangin' on the wall Oh, oh, of a stripper The men are still talkin' 'bout the rainy night she walked in Took off her shirt like it was nothin' at all Oh, oh, what a picture Everyone assumed she'd been drinkin' When she pointed to her shoulders And said, "Boys, here's what I'm thinkin'" Put a devil on the left, an angel on the right I'm already livin' in the middle of the fight And round and round and round and round it goes Part of me's in heaven, part of me's in hell Part of me is strugglin' tryin' to find my way through life With a devil on the left and an angel on the right Down in the Delta, there's a rundown chapel With a worn out floor where a preacher used to pray Oh, oh, for the stripper While right across the street, they were packed in tight Just a-pushin' and a-shovin', sweatin' by the stage Oh, oh, to tip her She brought a lot of men to their knees But only one of them was thinkin' "Lord, won't you help her please" She's got a devil on the left, an angel on the right They've got her dancin' in the middle of the fight And round and round and round and round she goes Part of her's in heaven, part of her's in hell Part of her is strugglin' tryin' to find her way through life With a devil on the left and an angel on the right In a cornfield in Kansas, there's a little yellow house With a white picket fence going all the way around "Oh, oh, mama, what's that on your shoulders?" "No, no, no child, maybe when you're older" Oh, now there's an angel on the left, an angel on the right Ring around the rosie underneath the open sky And round and round and round and round Round and round and round and round they go Ring around the rosie Ring around the rosie
