The Devil Had a Hold of Me The Devil Had A Hold Of Me -Gillian Welch Written by :T-BONE BURNETT 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 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 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 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 I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of me
