Evil

(álbum: Nightrider - 1975)

I was born way back in the woods & swamp
On the Hickory River shore
In a dirty old one-room pine-log shack
With sawdust on the floor
Was a graveyard out in the back of the house
And a skull up over the door
I been handling snakes since I was three
And I ain't gonna take it no more
Cause I'm evil
Keeps pouring out of me
I said I'm evil
Keeps pouring out of me
All my life I've been evil as I can be

My daddy was a Louisiana mojo man
The devil followed him around
You always know when grass wouldn't grow
Where his foot wouldn't touch the ground
My momma could snap her fingers
And make the fire come tumbling down
I'm the seventh son of the seventh son
You better not mess around
I said I'm evil
Keeps pouring out of me
Evil
Keeps pouring out of me
All my life I've been evil as I can be
