There’s a girl in 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, Lord, she’s bringing out the devil in me.(Chorus:)
Lord, forgive me for what I’m thinking/
Cause it’s Saturday night and I'm high and I’ve been drinkin’/
Come tomorrow morning, across the aisle/
I look over and see her smile, I bow my head and the choir sings/
Lord, forgive me, she’s bringin’ out the devil in me.
Sundress on a willow tree, and the 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 brings 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)
