Lyrics

Devil Doll

[Verse 1]

She won't get out of bed

Shake her snaky hair

Grab her, throw her in the tub

She says, "Coffee and a piece of pie"

She never wears a dress on Sunday

Or any Monday afternoon

This is no goddamn country to wander alone

[Chorus]

Devil doll, devil doll

Rags and bones and battered shoes

Devil doll, devil doll

Rags and bones and battered shoes

Devil doll, devil doll

Devil doll, devil doll

[Verse 2]

People turn their heads

She scares little kids

Eyes narrow, jaw is set

She'll fix you with a stare

She keeps her body hidden

Let's her eyes make her bid

I'd wrap her up in a bullet

And shoot her round the world

[Chorus]

Devil doll, devil doll

Rags and bones and battered shoes

Devil doll, devil doll

Rags and bones and battered shoes

Devil doll, devil doll

Devil doll, devil doll

[Verse 3]

She won't get out of bed

Shake her snaky hair

Grab her, throw her in the tub

She says, "Coffee and a piece of pie"

She never wears a dress on Sunday

Or any Monday afternoon

This is no goddamn country to wander alone

[Chorus]

Devil doll, devil doll

Rags and bones and battered shoes

Devil doll, devil doll

Rags and bones and battered shoes

Devil doll, devil doll

Devil doll, devil doll
