I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern

To buy me a bottle of beer

And I sat me down by a tender young maiden

Who's eyes were as dark as her hair

And as I was searching from bottle to bottle

For something un-foolish to say

That silver tongued devil

Just slipped from the shadows

And smilingly stole her away

I said: "Hey little girl

Don't you know he's the devil

"He's everything that I ain't

"Hiding intentions of evil

"Under the smile of a saint

"All he's good for is getting in trouble

"And shiftin' his share of the blame

"And some people swear he's my double:

"And some even say we're the same

"But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose

"I'll only live 'til I die

"We take our own chances and pay our own dues

"The silver tongued devil and I "

Like all the fair maidens

Who've laid down beside him

She knew in her heart that he'd lied

Nothing that I could have said could have saved her

No matter how hard that she tried

'Cos she'll offer her charms

To the darkness and danger

Of somethin' that she's never known

And open her arms at the smile of a stranger

Who'll love her and leave her alone

And you know he's the devil

He's everything that I ain't

Hiding intentions of evil

Under the smile of a saint

All he's good for is getting in trouble

And shiftin' his share of the blame

And some people swear he's my double

And some even say we're the same

But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose

I'll only live 'til I die

We take our own chances and pay our own dues

The silver tongued devil and I
