Lyrics:

Run devil run, the angels having fun 

Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done

 B

When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, 

 EAGA E 

Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run 

 E

By a swamp in Alabama in the cold in the damp

 E

Sittin reading by the light of a kerosene lamp

 A

Lives a holly roller with a mission on her mind

 E

Got to spread the word to anybody she can find

 B

You can hear her screaming any time in night or day

 E

This is what she says to keep the demons away 



 E

Run devil run, the angels having fun 

 E

Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done

 B

When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, 

 EAGA E 

Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run 



 E

Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down 

 E

Steppin on the bus that was heading to town 

 A

There they started drinking, they got into a fight 

 E

The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night 

 B

When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail 

 E

This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail 



 E

Run devil run, the angels having fun 

 E

Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done

 B

When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, 

 EAGA E 

Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run 



Lead solo (8 bars)



Piano (8 bars)



 E

Well by the middle of the summer they were back in the shack 

 E

Picking cotton for a livin keep 'em on the right track 

 A

Visiting the nieghbours trying to spread the good news 

 E

Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues 

 B

All of them determined to deliver the goods 

 E

Now you you hear the music comin out on the woods 



 E

Run devil run, the angel having fun 

 E

Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done

 B

When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, 

 EAGAE 

Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run 



 E AGAE

Ah you'ld better Run . . . Run Devil Run 

 E AGA E

You better Run . . . Run Devil Run
