Lyrics Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn

The Devil Gets His Dues

Well you think you're the hardest thing a goin'

The way things come to you you think you're in

But one of these days that wind's a gonna start blowin'

You may not lose the big boy you won't win

Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'

When he collects you know you'll pay your debt

The devil gets his dues like I been sayin'

You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet

When it comes to love you wear the devil's menu

And you bribe a lot that you just can't be hurt

You're not the only one who knows the trick or two

Some day I might rub your face in the dirt

Well your little play house is sittin' on sticks of dynamite

And I get mad tonight and light the fuze

If you come in and find out that my dog bites

You'll know the devil's here collectin' dues

Cause the devil gets his dues...
