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, E A G A E Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . 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, E A G A E Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run E Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down E Steppin on the bus that was heading to town A There they started drinking, they got into a fight E The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night B When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail E This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail 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, E A G A E Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run Lead solo (8 bars) Piano (8 bars) E Well by the middle of the summer they were back in the shack E Picking cotton for a livin keep 'em on the right track A Visiting the nieghbours trying to spread the good news E Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues B All of them determined to deliver the goods E Now you you hear the music comin out on the woods E Run devil run, the angel 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, E A G A E Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run E A G A E Ah you'ld better Run . . . Run Devil Run E A G A E
