Lyrics Charlie Daniels

Charlie Daniels

Evil

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
