The silver-tongued devil and i


�

I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern

To buy me a bottle of beer

I sat me down by a tender young maiden

Whose eyes were as dark as her hair

And as I was searching from bottle to bottle

For something un-foolish to say

That silver-tongued devil just slipped from the shadows

And smilingly stole her away

chorus: I said Hey, little girl don't you know he's the devil

He's everything that I ain't

Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint

All he's good for is getting in trouble

And shifting his share of the blame

And some people swear he's my double

And some even say we're the same

But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose

And I'll only live till I die

We take our own chances and pay our own dues

The silver-tongued devil and I

Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him

She knew in her heart that he lied

But nothing that I could have said could have saved her

No matter how hard that she tried

'Cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger

Of something that she's never known

And open her arms at the smile of a stranger

Who'll love her and leave her alone

And you know he's the devil ...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Kris Kristofferson (born Christopher Kristofferson on June 22, 1936) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actor of Swedish descent. Considered one of the pillars of American country music, he has influenced generations of artists with his introspective and poetic songs that explore themes such as rural life, love, loss, and social struggle. After a military career and a brief period of study at Oxford University, Kristofferson moved to Nashville in 1966 to pursue music. He initially worked as a songwriter for other artists before emerging with his debut album "Kristofferson" (1970). His success came with songs like "Me and Bobby McGee", performed by Janis Joplin, and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", which became a country classic. Kristofferson has collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, contributing to defining the outlaw country movement of the 1970s. Besides music, he has acted in numerous films, including "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" (1973) and "Blade Runner" (1982). Throughout his career, Kristofferson has won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1970. His songs continue to be loved and performed by artists of diverse generations.
