By The Devil I Was Tempted

I've done a lot of laughing

A little bit of crying

I've been a lot of places

And made a mess of friends

Got wedded to the whisky

Should've been a good woman

If I could re-live my days

Changing my ways

I'd not touch' a drop again

By the devil I was tempted

And many jugs I've emptied

I felt so rejected

I didn't wanna go astray

Half my life has been awasted

By the booze I've tasted

But the demon I have faced it

And sent him on his way

I hope I'll be forgiven

For all my bad livin'

I had to make some changes

'Fore he got me in the end

Now I've got a pretty woman

She gives me good lovin'

I can 't re-live all my days in a different way

But I won't go astray again

By the devil I was tempted

And many jugs I've emptied

I felt so rejected

I didn't wanna go astray

Half my life has been awasted

By the booze I've tasted

But the demon I have faced it

And sent him on his way
