Daddy And The Devil

Daddy and the devil walk side by side

Me and momma, we tried to hide

He couldn’t stay sober if he tried

Daddy and the devil walked side by side

The devil had a hold on daddy’s hand

He never had a straight and narrow plan

Down a dark and deadend road they ran

The devil had a hold on daddy’s hand

He took his soul and he took his pride

But the devil still ain’t satisfied

We all cried the day he died

Daddy and the devil walked side by side

Daddy and the devil were the best of friends

We all know that story’s end

But it’s the son who pays for the father’s sins

Daddy and the devil were the best of friends

Years gone by and I’m a full grown man

It took a lot of living to understand

How a good man falls for the devil’s plans

The devil had a hold on daddy’s hand

Daddy and the devil walked side by side
