My Mother and the Devil
Baby, I have never been so low
Never been so far away from hope
I hear the blues
Don't see memories
Not the way that we might
See the light of day
My mother says the devil
Is the only one who ever
Gained a thing by
Telling folks the truth
And my father says
The devil and my mother
Are the only ones
Who'll be there
Always and forever
No matter what I do
There's a sea of wheat
Taller than a man
I brush the grain with my left hand
Smell wet earth on the wind
Shiver where I stand
I hear the blues
From somewhere up ahead
The voice of a man
He sounds scared
My mother says the devil
Is the only one who ever
Gained a thing by
Telling folks the truth
And my father says
The devil and my mother
Are the only ones
Who'll be there
Always and forever
No matter what I do
