Skeeter Davis - Devil's Doll lyrics

rate me

(Cindy Walker)

I knew him when he held his head up high

And there was love and laughter in his eyes

And then one day the devil's doll came by

She tempted him and he fell.

I knew him when he wouldn't stay away

From home all night and drink till break of day

But devil doll's all have a certain way

Of changing heaven to hell.

She took his heart that never was untrue

And taught him things the devil taught her too

Till he became someone I never knew

Who lied and cheated and left me.

But now and then I see him passing by

In shabby clothes and lost and empty eyes

With feel of hate for her that never dies

The devil's doll was she

I knew him when he loved me...
