lyrics

Preacher preacher please come quick
I've got something to admit
Met a man down in the sticks
near Old Miss.
Drove a series 10 Cadillac
And cigar on his lips.

Don't you know the Devil wears
A suit and a tie.
Saw him driving down the 61
In early July.
White as a feather,
Sharp as a knife,
I herd him howling as he passed me by.

He Said
I know you,
I know you young man.
I can tell by the state of your hands.
Your a six string picker,
Mush as I am.
Let me learn you a few tunes,
Make all the girls dance.

Don't you know the Devil wears
A suit and a tie.
Saw him driving down the 61
In early July.
White as a feather,
Sharp as a knife,
I herd him howling as he passed me by.

Foolish, foolish was I,
Damn my foolish eyes.
there was always gonna be a price.
Damn my foolish eyes.

Foolish, foolish was I.
Damn my foolish eyes.
I had to pay such a price.
Damn my foolish eyes.
Damn my foolish,
Foolish pride.
