Run devil run, the angels having fun
making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done.
B
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you,
A AG A E

listen what I'm saying to you ru-un. Run devil run.
E
By a swamp in Alabama in the cold in the damp.
E
Sittin reading by the light of a kerosene lamp.
A
Lives a holly roller with a mission on her mind.
E
Got to spread the word to anybody she can find.
B
You can hear her screaming any time in night or day.
E
This is what she says to keep the demons away.
E
Run devil run, the angels having fun,
E
making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done.
B
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you,
A AG A E
--
listen what I'm saying to you ru-un. Run devil run.
Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down.
Steppin on the bus that was heading to town.
There they started drinking, they got into a fight.
The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night.
When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail,
this is what she sang as she was leaving the jail.
Run devil run, the angels...

Well, by the middle of the summer they were back in the shack.
Picking cotton for a livin keep 'em on the right track.
Visiting the nieghbours trying to spread the good news.
Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues.
All of them determined to deliver the goods,
now you hear the music coming out on the woods.
Run devil run, the angels...
E AG A E

You'ld better ru-un. Run devil run.

You'ld better ru-un. Run devil run.
