   I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
  To buy me a bottle of beer
  I sat me down by a tender young maiden
  Whose eyes were as dark as her hair
  And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
  For something un-foolish to say
  That silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows
  And smilingly stole her away
  
  chorus: I said Hey, little girl don't you know he's the devil
  He's everything that I ain't
  Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
  All he's good for is getting in trouble
  And shifting his share of the blame
  And some people swear he's my double
  And some even say we're the same
  But the silver-tounged devil's got nothing to lose
  And I'll only live 'till I die
  We take our own chances and pay our own dues
  The silver tounged devil and I
  
  Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him
  She knew in her heart that he lied
  But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
  No matter how hard that she tried
  'Cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger
  Of something that she's never known
  And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
  Who'll love her and leave her alone
  
  And you know he's the devil ...
