                   INTRO 
    Run devil run, the angels having fun
    Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done
    When he gets through, he'll be coming after you,
    Listen what I'm saying to you Run ... Run Devil Run

                   VERSE
    By a swamp in Alabama in the cold in the damp
    Sittin reading by the light of a kerosene lamp
    Lives a holly roller with a mission on her mind
    Got to spread the word to anybody she can find
    You can hear her screaming any time in night or day
    This is what she says to keep the demons away

                   CHORUS
    Run devil run, the angels having fun
    Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done
    When he gets through, he'll be coming after you,
    Listen what I'm saying to you Run ... Run Devil Run

                   VERSE
    Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down
    Steppin on the bus that was heading to 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 bail
    This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail

                   CHORUS

                   SOLO

                   VERSE
    Well from the middle of the summer they were back in the shack
    Picking cotton for a livin keep 'em 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
    Now you hear the music comin out on the woods

                   CHORUS

    Ah you'd better Run ... Run Devil Run
    You better Run ... Run Devil Run
