Lyrics

Walked in this joint about seven to three Pretty little thing looked right up at me Place was just jumping sweat soaked folks all getting loud She walked on over like a panther on the prowl Never thought the devil’d get a hold on me Saddled on the stool and she offered me a beer I said hey babe I ain’t chasing down no trouble in here She looked me in the eye and she sort of bit her lip She said now I know you ain’t turning down this But I never thought the devil’d get a hold on me The band was kicking it ill and playing loud The way they think they kick it way down south Dragged me out on the floor and she fell onto her knees Crawled up my leg like a big oak tree But I never thought the devil’d get a hold on me Tight little body and them ripped up pants Gave away her intentions in a sideways glance Back at my place by the 3:45 She said you’ll be lucky if you escape this alive My kind of loving makes them run and hide Well the devil is a woman with a perfect touch Made love so slow hell I was burning up My fever broke and I was out in the cold And I bargained one night for my very soul Hellhound in the distance and the night wind moaned Bout three months later I was down and out A drunken fool with a big old mouth When some voodoo preacher man stepped up to me And spoke of the viper that crawled on up my tree I told him that the devil was just five foot three So listen closely son you better stay clear There’s probably even one or two in here The perfect sin with midnight stare You ain’t gonna find a bit of love in there We’ren’t no crossroad where the devil found me The devil was a woman bout five foot three
