I killed a John when he was three sheets gone,
And honey there's a lot worse that I've done.
I took his money and I left him there,
A stinking corpse in the thoroughfare.
My momma died the day I was born,
From her swollen belly I was torn.
The devil cried as my momma died,
He'd been promised her first born.
I'm the devil's daughter, I'll rip you in two,
I killed my momma and I'll sure kill you.
I'm the devil's daughter, I swear it true,
There'll be nothing left by the time I'm through.
My father stood, stood at our front door,
To sell his daughter as a two-bit whore.
So I took his axe from the whittling shed,
And stuck it deep into the bastard's head.
My sisters were taken by the lord of the land,
To beg for food from his jewel filled hand.
But there's only one thing money will bring,
From the gallow's tree we let him swing.
I'm the devil's daughter, I'll rip you in two,
I killed my momma and I'll sure kill you.
I'm the devil's daughter, I swear it true,
There'll be nothing left by the time I'm through.
Let the witchfinder search my naked flesh,
I'll smile at the touch of his cold caress.
I'll bend him over the ale house keg,
And rip out his spine with a railroad peg.
I lay with the vicar and I razed the church,
Rode him to heaven as the parish burnt.
We are mud and blood, we bring down doom,
Tell the devil I'll be home soon.
My momma was a witch, with the devil she lay,
Promised he would take me away.
Rode the switch and broke the bone,
The devil's come to take me home.
I'm the devil's daughter, I'll rip you in two,
I killed my momma and I'll sure kill you.
I'm the devil's daughter, I swear it true,
There'll be nothing left by the time I'm through.
