Here's a new Blues tune I wrote, still in the studio working on the slide guitar but thought some of you might like to pick around with it That Devil From Memphis by D. Wallace C#m...................................G#m.......................C#m I picked up the pieces when he left you all alone ......................................................................................G#m I put you back together again and gave you a good home ......................................C#m I raised your kids like they were my own ...................................F#7 They never did without, they never were alone Em..........................................B Now that Devil from Memphis thinks he’s gonna ...................................C#mF#7C#mC#mC#m take my woman away You said yourself, that bastard, he’s no damned good He never treated you right, like gentleman should He couldn’t hold a job, he gambled every day Lost ll your money, a lot more than he could pay Now that Devil from Memphis thinks he’s gonna take my woman away You told me all about how he’s big, mean and bad Carrys a .45 pistol and got a temper like a dog gone mad But that damned Devil ain’t gonna take my wife Long as I got a breath and a switchblade knife That Devil from Memphis ain’t gonna take my woman away Don’t waste our money on flowers baby Don’t waste your time with tears. It ain’t something worth crying about, so don’t waste your years I gots blood on my hand while I sit here in this jail I did what I had to and they won’t set no bail But that Devil from Memphis ain’t gonna take my woman away No sir, that Devil ain’t gonna take my woman away
