Take a bite right out of me
And burn the rest in effigy
Hang me from the family tree
And what you try to steal
Will one day set me free
Is this what you've come to see?
All this blood I've got to bleed
Southern fruit cut from the tree
And burning through the heart
With no apology
I'm coming back for you, yeah yeah
I sing the Devil's blues, yeah yeah
I'm burning like a star, searching for a fool
So give me what you lose, yeah yeah
I will keep this little seed
It won't be beat by no police
I will swallow it for me
Cut me from the poplar tree
I have been received
I'm coming back for you, yeah yeah
I sing the Devil's blues, yeah yeah
I'm burning like a star, searching for a fool
So give me what you lose, yeah yeah
I'm coming back for you, yeah yeah
I'm coming back for you, yeah yeah
I'm coming back for you, yeah
I'm coming back for you, yeah yeah yeah
Coming back for you, yeah yeah
