By the Devil (I Was Tempted) Songtext
von Blue Mink

I′ve done a lot of laughing
And a little bit of crying
I've been a lot of places
And I′ve got a mess of friends
I got married to a bottle
It gave me bad loving, yeah
If I could re-live all my days
Changing my ways
I'd not touch' a drop again

By the devil I was tempted
And many jugs I′ve emptied
I felt so rejected
I didn′t wanna go away
Half my life has been awasted
By the booze I've tasted
But the demon I have faced it
And sent him on his way


I hope I′ll be forgiven
For all my bad livin'
I had to make some changes
Or he′d have got me in the end
Now I have a pretty woman
She gives me good lovin', yeah
I can ′t re-live all my days
In a different way
But I won't go astray again

By the devil I was tempted
And many jugs I've emptied
I felt so rejected
I didn′t wanna go away
Half my life has been awasted
By the booze I′ve tasted
But the demon I have faced it
And sent him on his way

-Repeat chorus
-Repeat chorus and fade out.
