RUN, DEVIL, RUN, THE ANGEL'S HAVING FUN,
MAKING WINNERS OUT OF SINNERS, BETTER LEAVE BEFORE HE'S DONE.
WHEN HE GETS THROUGH, HE'LL BE COMING AFTER YOU.
LISTEN WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU - RUN -
RUN, DEVIL, RUN.
BY A SWAMP IN ALABAMA IN THE COLD AND DAMP,
SITTING READING BY THE LIGHT OF A KREOSENE LAMP,
LIVES A HOLY ROLLER WITH A MISSION ON HER MIND
GOT TO SPREAD THE WORD TO ANYONE SHE CAN FIND.
YOU CAN HEAR HER SCREAMING ANY TIME OF NIGHT OR DAY
THIS IS WHAT SHE SAYS TO KEEP HER DEMONS AWAY.
RUN, DEVIL, RUN, THE ANGEL'S HAVING FUN,
MAKING WINNERS OUT OF SINNERS, BETTER LEAVE BEFORE HE'S DONE.
WHEN HE GETS THROUGH, HE'LL BE COMING AFTER YOU.
LISTEN WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU - RUN -
RUN, DEVIL, RUN.
HER BROTHER AND HER SISTER SAID THAT SHE BROUGHT THEM DOWN,
STEPPING ON A BUS THAT WAS HEADING FOR 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 BILL,
THIS IS WHAT SHE SANG AS SHE WAS LEAVING THE JAIL.
RUN, DEVIL, RUN, THE ANGEL'S HAVING FUN,
MAKING WINNERS OUT OF SINNERS, BETTER LEAVE BEFORE HE'S DONE.
WHEN HE GETS THROUGH, HE'LL BE COMING AFTER YOU.
LISTEN WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU - RUN -
RUN, DEVIL, RUN, YEAH.
WELL -
WELL, BY THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER THEY WERE BACK AT THE SHACK,
PICKING COTTON FOR A LIVING, KEEPIN' ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
VISITING THE NEIGHBOURS, TRYING TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS,
SINGING GOSPEL MUSIC WITH A HINT OF THE BLUES.
ALL OF THEM DETERMINED TO DELIVER THE GOODS,
MAN, YOU HEAR THE MUSIC COMING OUT OF THE WOODS.
RUN, DEVIL, RUN, THE ANGEL'S HAVING FUN,
MAKING WINNERS OUT OF SINNERS, BETTER LEAVE BEFORE HE'S DONE.
WHEN HE GETS THROUGH, HE'LL BE COMING AFTER YOU.
LISTEN WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU - RUN -
RUN, DEVIL, RUN.
A-YOU BETTER RUN -
RUN, DEVIL, RUN.
YOU BETTER RUN -
RUN, DEVIL, RUN.
