Run devil run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through he'll be coming after you
Listen what I'm saying to you run
Run devil run

By a swamp in Alabama in the cold and the damp
Sitting reading by the light of a kerosene lamp
Lives a holy roller with a mission on her mind
Got to spread the world to anybody she can find
You can hear her screaming any time of night or day
This is what she says to keep her demons away

Run devil run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through he'll be coming after you
Listen what I'm saying to you run
Run devil run

Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down
Stepping on a bus that was heading for town
There they started drinking they got into a fight
The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night
When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail
This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail

Run devil run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through he'll be coming after you
Listen what I'm saying to you run
Run devil run yeah

Well by the middle of the summer they were back at the shack
Picking cotton for a living keeping on the right track
Visting the neighbours trying to spread the good news
Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues
All of them determined to deliver the goods
Man you hear the music coming out of the woods

Run devil run
The angel's having fun
Making winners out of sinners
Better leave before he's done
When he gets through he'll be coming after you
Listen what I'm saying to you run
Run devil run

You better run
Run devil run
You better run
Run devil run
