Devil's Lullaby Lyrics

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
(DRUMS, BASS, ACOUSTIC/BARITONE GUITAR)
