Intro
A
E
When the shrimpers hit town
With their white boots on
Drinkin' all their pay
Before they make it home
A
And we're stayin'
E
Diggy liggy lie, diggy liggy lo
That's the song that you better know
A
If your playin'
D A
The women whistle and the fiddles whine
E A
Sounds like the devil's lullaby
E
Well the rattlesnake race I found myself in
The landlady notified my next of kin
A
And I'm ramblin'
E
Left a cryin' pregnant teenage bride
Grandmother kneeling by her side
A
They were praying
D A
San Patricio, Hear their cry
E A
Playin' the devil's lullaby
D A
Sang a song when I was young
E A
About the power in the blood
D A
Jesus he can't save me
E
I'm crucified
Devil's lullaby
A E A
E
So I sang a song of a rose tattoo
A sailor's heart with a girl untrue
A
under the street lamp
E
All the skirt chasin' and free basin'
And the scarlet flows where she slashed me good
A
With a razor
D A
Sirens wail and the church bells chime
E A
Play me the devil's lullaby
D A
The women whistle and the fiddles whine
E A
Sounds like the devil's lullaby
The devil's lullaby
