Intro When the shrimpers hit town With their white boots on Drinkin' all their pay Before they make it home And we're stayin' Diggy liggy lie, diggy liggy lo That's the song that you better know If your playin' The women whistle and the fiddles whine Sounds like the devil's lullaby Well the rattlesnake race I found myself in The landlady notified my next of kin And I'm ramblin' Left a cryin' pregnant teenage bride Grandmother kneeling by her side They were praying San Patricio, Hear their cry Playin' the devil's lullaby Sang a song when I was young About the power in the blood Jesus he can't save me I'm crucified Devil's lullaby So I sang a song of a rose tattoo A sailor's heart with a girl untrue under the street lamp All the skirt chasin' and free basin' And the scarlet flows where she slashed me good With a razor Sirens wail and the church bells chime Play me the devil's lullaby The women whistle and the fiddles whine Sounds like the devil's lullaby The devil's lullaby
