To The Devil For A Dime - Tinsley Ellis
Lyrics by:Tinsley Ellis
Composed by:Tinsley Ellis
I got a traveling bones
On the day I was born
I left my only home
To find what I'm looking for
They say the world must be round
So I sailed the seven seas
But searching for a brand new world
Is getting the best of me
I could sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil for a dime
I could sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil
I worked twenty-five years
On that assembly line
Until they finally made that gear
Took away that job of mine
Now I'm out here on this corner
I got holes in both my shoes
I got no where to turn
I've got nothing to lose
Except these blues
I could sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil for a dime
I could sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil for a dime
I been on this boulevard
Since nineteen sixty-nine
My finding work was so hard
Thought about stepping over the line
Now I know someday my ticket
My ticket number's got to win
But I cold wind is blowing
Down the back of my coat again
It's such a sin
I could sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil for a dime
I could sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil for a dime
Sell my soul to the devil for a dime
