North Mississippi Allstars - Keep the Devil Down lyrics

Dirty Red's got his pocket full of them things Standing on a corner in Holly Springs The busted Dirty Red in Hickory Flats, y'all Old Dirty is a soldier, Red ain't no rat If you raise the devil I can't keep the devil down And now I've found the starry crown If you raise the devil I can't keep the devil down Don't look him in the eye The devil is a lie Them things got me snapping like a fighting dog Drinking gun powder from a rotten log Old habits die hard, I'm dam so stuck in my way It's the nature of the beast that one of these days I'm a gonna raise the devil I can't keep the devil down If you've found the starry crown And you raise the devil I can't keep the devil down Don't look him in the eye The devil is a lie If you raise the devil I can't keep the devil down And now I've found the starry crown If you raise the devil I can't keep the devil down Don't look him in the eye The devil is a lie
