The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

Well

Reverend, reverend, please come quick

'Cause I've got something to admit

I met a man out in the sticks of Good Ol' Miss

He drove a series 10 Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip

Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie

Saw him driving down the 61 in early July

White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

I heard him howling as he passed me by

And he said

I know you, I know you young man

I know you by the state of your hands

You're a six-string picker

Just as I, I am

Let me learn you something

I know a few turns to make all the girls dance

Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie

I saw him driving down the 61 in early July

White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

I heard him howling as he passed me by

Oh

Foolish, foolish was I

Damn my foolish eyes

'Cause that man's lessons

Had a price, oh, sweet price

My sweet soul, everlasting

A very own eternal light

Don't you know that the devil wears a suit and tie

I saw him driving down the 61' in early July

White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

I heard him howling as he passed me by

Well, the devil wears a suit and tie

I saw him driving down the 61 in early July

White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife

I heard him howling as he passed me by
