Lyrics
Devil Be Gone
D G A
Shoofly fly away from here
Shoofly fly, and then be gone
Shoofly fly away from here
The whiskey?s callin?
And the devil?s come
Butter beans and sweet cornbread
Butter beans and sweet cornbread
Butter beans and sweet cornbread
Remember Mama what the preacher said
F G D Chorus
Pavement hard
Red lights burn
Night crawlers churning up the dirt
A G D
Mockingbird cries when morning comes (2x last chorus)
Don?t tread water that?s too deep
Don?t tread water that?s too deep
Don?t tread water that?s too deep
It?ll wash you out
And leave you clean
Sunshine?s gonna shine today
Sunshine grows like goldenrod
Sunshine?s gonna shine today
Hallelujah, the devil be gone
Hallelujah, the devil be gone
Hallelujah, the devil be gone
Chorus
D G A
Shoofly fly away from here
Shoofly fly, and then be gone
Shoofly fly away from here
The whiskey?s callin
And the devil?s come
Sunshine?s gonna shine today
Sunshine grows like goldenrod
Sunshine?s gonna shine today
Hallelujah, the devil be gone
Hallelujah, the devil be gone
Hallelujah, the devil be gone
