Lyrics:

When the shrimpers hit town with their white boots on
Drinkin' all their pay before they make it home, then we're stayin'
Diggy liggy lie, diggy liggy lo
That's the song that you better know if you're playin'
The women whistle, and the fiddles whine
Sounds like the devil's lullaby
Well, rattle snake race, I found myself in
The landlady notified my next of kin, and I'm ramblin'
Left a cryin' pregnant teenage bride
Grandmother kneelin' by her side, they were prayin'
San Patricio, hear their cry
Playing the devil's lullaby
I sang a song when I was young
'Bout the power in the blood
Jesus, he can't save me, I'm crucified
The devil's lullaby

So, I sang the song of a rose tattoo
A sailor's heart with a girl untrue under the street lamp
All the skirt chasin' and freebasin'
And the scarlet flows where she sliced me good with a razor
Sirens wail and the church bells chime
Play me the devil's lullaby
The women whistle, and the fiddles whine
Sounds like the devil's Lullaby
Devil's lullaby
