The Devil Had A Hold Of Me Lyrics - Gillian Welch

Now I was just a girl of two 

Now I was just a girl of two 

With a golden heart and a button shoe 

The devil had a hold of me 

The devil had a hold of me 

I turned my head and I could see 

The devil had a hold of me 

There was something wrong with the butcher's boy 

Was something wrong with the butcher's boy 

He trembled in his hand and voice 

The devil had a hold of me 

The devil had a hold of me 

The others knew to let him be 

But the devil had a hold of me

Lady Antebellum Reveal The Lyrics To 'This City' 

Now the tailpipe spit and the engine roared 

The tailpipe spit and the engine roared 

I's waving out the Plymouth door 

And the devil had a hold of me 

The devil had a hold of me 

The old folks saw the last they'd see 

The devil had a hold of me 

I dreamed last night that my time was done 

I dreamed last night that my time was done 

And my soul flew up to the holy son 

But the devil had a hold of me 

The devil had a hold of me 

I snapped back down when he pulled my lead 

The devil had a hold of me 

There're those who'll laugh and not believe 

There're those who'll laugh and not believe 

Until you feel that touch upon your sleeve
