lyrics

I met my baby on a cold dark night
I held my baby in the dim moonlight
I fell inside the winding jig-jag of her jaws
black the soulless lips that kiss the devil dog

why did you come here to this sleepy border town?
there must've been a hundred better spots around
you chose my cot to lay now flees are in my craw
black the soulless bed that sleeps the devil dog

when you first came to town
all the others turned around
to run the other way
but I told you you could stay
I let you in my home
you waited til we were all alone
then the dog made my heart its new bone

I spent my fortune on a pot of fool's gold
You burned it all until the air was black as coal
I watched the remnants of my dreams burn like a log
Black the soulless lungs that breathe the devil fog

when you first came to town
all the others turned around
to run the other way
but I told you you could stay
I let you in my home
you waited til we were all alone
then the dog made my heart its new bone
down girl

I met my baby on a cold dark night
I held my baby in the dim moonlight
I fell inside the winding jig-jag of her jaws
black the soulless lips that kiss the devil dog
black the soulless arms that hold the devil dog
black the soulless bed that sleeps the devil dog
black the soulless heart that loved the devil dog
