Lyrics The Silver Tongued Devil and I - Kris Kristofferson
I
took
myself
down
to
the
Tally
Ho
Tavern
To
buy
me
a
bottle
of
beer
And
I
sat
me
down
by
a
tender
young
maiden
Whose
eyes
were
as
soft
as
her
hair
And
as
I
was
searching
from
bottle
to
bottle
For
something
unfoolish
to
say
That
silver
tongued
devil
just
slipped
from
the
shadows
And
smilingly
stole
her
away
I
said
hey,
little
girl
don′t
you
know,
he's
the
devil
He′s
everything
that
I
ain't
Hiding
intentions
of
evil
Under
the
smile
of
a
saint
All
he's
good
for
is
gettin′
in
trouble
And
shifting
his
share
of
the
blame
And
some
people
swear
he′s
my
double
And
some
even
say
we're
the
same
But
the
silver-tongued
devil′s
got
nothing
to
lose
And
I'll
only
live
′till
I
die
We
take
our
own
chances,
and
pay
our
own
dues
The
silver
tongued
devil
and
I
Like
all
the
fair
maidens
who've
laid
down
beside
him
She
knew
in
her
heart
that
he′d
lied
Nothing
that
I
could
have
said
could
have
saved
her
No
matter
how
hard
that
she
tried
'Cause
she'll
offer
her
soul
to
the
darkness
and
danger
Of
something
that
she′s
never
known
And
open
her
arms
at
the
smile
of
a
stranger
Who′ll
love
her
and
leave
her
alone
And
she
know's
he′s
the
devil
He's
everything
that
I
ain′t
Hiding
intentions
of
evil
intentions
Under
the
smile
of
a
saint
All
he's
good
for
is
gettin′
in
trouble
And
shifting
his
share
of
the
blame
And
some
people
swear
he's
my
double
And
some
even
say
we're
the
same
But
the
silver-tongued
devil′s
got
nothing
to
lose
And
I′ll
only
live
'till
I
die
We
take
our
own
chances,
and
pay
our
own
dues
The
silver
tongued
devil
and
I
