when the shrimpers hit town with their white boots on drinking all their pay before they make it home so were staying diggy liggy li diggy liggy lo that s the song you better know if you re playing the women whistle and the fiddles whine sounds like the devil s lullaby rattle snake race i found myself in landlady notfied my next of kin and i m rambling left a crying pregnant teenage bride grandmother kneeling by her side they were praying san patricio hear their cry i m playing the devil s lullaby i sang the song when i was young about the power in the blood but jesus he can t save me i m crusified the devil s lullaby so i sang the songs of a rose tattoo a sailor s heart with a girl untrue under the street lamp all the skirt chasing and freebasing how the scarlet flows where she sliced me good with a razor the sirens wail and church bells chime playing me the devil s lullaby the women whistle and the fiddles whine playing the devil s lullaby michael s o connor 2005
