When the shrippers hit town with their white boots on Drinkin' all their pay before they make it home Then we're stayin' Diggy, liggy, light, diggy, liggy, love That's the song that you better know if you're playin' The women whistlin', the fiddles whine Sounds like the devil's lullaby Well, a rattlesnake race I found myself in My landlady notified my next of kin and I'm ramblin' Left a cryin' pregnant teenage bride Grandmother kneeling by her side, they were prayin' San Patricio hear their cry Prayin' the devil's lullaby Sang the song when I was young About the power in the blood Yes, he can't save me, I'm crucified The devil's lullaby So I sang the song of a rose tattooed In a tailor's heart with a girl untrue under the streetlight All the skirt chasin' and freebasin' And the scarlet bows where she sliced me good with a razor Sirens wailin', the church bells chime Pray me the devil's lullaby The women whistlin', the fiddles whine Sounds like the devil's lullaby The devil's lullaby The Devil's Lullaby
