Jerry Jeff Walker Dealing With The Devil Lyrics

Dealing With The Devil Lyrics

Sanger, Shaver, Raven



Yeah I used to run with whiskey

Stay out with the ladies of the night

'Til the whiskey took control

And left me waltzing with them witches in my mind



Now imaginary bottles won't be everywhere 

To haunt me like before

I'm not dancing with them demons, no

Dealing with that devil anymore



Chorus:

You can go to sleep my weary lady

Heaven knows you've done your chore

You were sent down here to save me

I'm not dancing with them demons

Dealing with that devil anymore



I don't know where you came from

All I know is that you brought me back my pride

Reached out a hand and touched a man

Who strayed about as far as he could slide



And you must have come from heaven girl, 

Cause who else could have sent you but the Lord

I'm not dancing with those demons now

Dealing with that devil anymore



Chorus



You must have been sent down to save me

I'm not dancing with those demons now, 

Dealing with that devil anymore 



You can go to sleep my weary lady

Heaven knows you've done your chore

You were sent down here to save me

I'm not dancing with them demons now, 

Dealing with that devil anymore
