There’s a girl i
n Shelbyville, who gave her life
to Jesus/
At First Antioch Baptist Church,
where her Daddy preaches/
She’s pretty as her Ma,
and only twenty-three/
She could be an angel, Lor
d, she’s bringing out the devil in me.
(Chorus:)
Lord, forgive me for what I’m th
inking/
Cause it’s Saturday night and I'
m high and I’ve been dri
nkin’/
Come tomorrow morning, a
cross the aisle/
I look over and see her
smile, I b
ow my
head and the
choir sings/
Lord, forgive me, she’s
bringin’ out the devil in me.
Sundress on a willow tree, and t
he moon’s on the water/
I know the Lord’s been good to me, when
I look at that preacher’s daughter/
She’s my Delilah: she br
ings me to my knees/
She could be an angel, Lord, she
’s bringing out the devil in me.
(Chorus (don’t end on A but go to instrumental))
(Instrumental: Bm7 A/C# E/G# D, Bm7 A/C# E/G# D Eadd4)
(Chorus)
