Old Red Devil

I see that old red Devil creepin' around the bed

Lord, I'm gonna quit my mean

This ain't goin' honky-tonkin' again

Black snakes crawlin' in my room, they won't let me be

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me

I got by a long time

And thought that I was smart

With shootin' dice and drinkin' wine

And breakin' poor girls hearts

My past has overtook me now

I know I've lost the race

'Cause when I look out my window

I can see that awful face

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me

Lord, I'm gonna quit my mean

This ain't goin' on another spree

There's butterflies before my eyes and nightmares in my sleep

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me

Now, boys take this warning

Take a fool's advice

If you're the awful shape of men

I wouldn't have to tell you twice

Don't shame love and happiness

And live in a world of sin

When I look out my window

I can see him peepin' in

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me

Lord, I'm gonna quit my mean

This ain't goin' on another spree

There's butterflies before my eyes and nightmares in my sleep

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me

It's that old red Devil creepin' up on me
