Lyrics and translation Wade Bowen - Daddy and the Devil

Daddy and the Devil

Daddy and the devil walk side by side
Me and momma, we tried to hide
He couldn't stay sober if he tried
Daddy and the devil walked side by side

The devil had a hold on daddy's hand
He never had a straight and narrow plan
Down a dark and deadend road they ran
The devil had a hold on daddy's hand

He took his soul and he took his pride
But the devil still ain't satisfied
We all cried the day he died
Daddy and the devil walked side by side

Daddy and the devil were the best of friends
We all know that story's end
But it's the son who pays for the father's sins
Daddy and the devil were the best of friends

Well, he took his soul and he took his pride
But the devil still ain't satisfied
We all cried the day he died
Daddy and the devil walked side by side

Years gone by and I'm a full grown man
It took a lot of living to understand
How a good man falls for the devil's plans
The devil had a hold on daddy's hand

Well, he took his soul and he took his pride
No, the devil still ain't satisfied
Yeah, and we all cried the day he died
Daddy and the devil walked side by side
Daddy and the devil walked side by side

Papa et le diable

Papa et le diable marchaient côte à côte
Maman et moi, on essayait de se cacher
Il n'arrivait pas à rester sobre même s'il essayait
Papa et le diable marchaient côte à côte

Le diable tenait la main de papa
Il n'avait jamais de plan droit et étroit
Sur un chemin sombre et sans issue, ils couraient
Le diable tenait la main de papa

Il a pris son âme et il a pris sa fierté
Mais le diable n'est toujours pas satisfait
On a tous pleuré le jour où il est mort
Papa et le diable marchaient côte à côte

Papa et le diable étaient les meilleurs amis
On sait tous comment ça finit
Mais c'est le fils qui paie les péchés du père
Papa et le diable étaient les meilleurs amis

Il a pris son âme et il a pris sa fierté
Mais le diable n'est toujours pas satisfait
On a tous pleuré le jour où il est mort
Papa et le diable marchaient côte à côte

Des années ont passé et je suis un homme adulte
Il a fallu beaucoup de vie pour comprendre
Comment un homme bon tombe dans les plans du diable
Le diable tenait la main de papa

Il a pris son âme et il a pris sa fierté
Non, le diable n'est toujours pas satisfait
Oui, et on a tous pleuré le jour où il est mort
Papa et le diable marchaient côte à côte
Papa et le diable marchaient côte à côte
