Madeline Adams - What The Devil Don't Know Won't Hurt Him lyrics

Shoot a squirrel and baby girl don't even know her father Sent her away on the fifth of may to a steamboat in the water I loved her well but i'm going to hell And she won't know its fires When i'm away she'll dine in Maine on bloody mary's and lobster The day i die, well by that time She will be a woman She won't know me but her love's at sea With a steamboat captain husband I can't sleep at night oh she's wonderin' why She don't know her father I tell her she born when the beauty of the sun Fell into the water Well the devil don't know but i'll be countin' his gold tonight You can't grow old when you're countin' his gold tonight (x2) When she dies why the wings won't fly her All the way to jesus Her soul will lay and move with the waves Oh the devil told me all his secrets (x3)
