[00:00:00] Never Let the Devil Get the Upper Hand of You - The Carter Family

[00:00:02] Written by：Traditional/Carters

[00:00:04] My tender parents brought me up

[00:00:08] Provided for me well

[00:00:13] Was in the city of Lanson town

[00:00:17] They placed me in a mill

[00:00:23] It was there I spied a pretty fair miss

[00:00:27] On whom I cast my eye

[00:00:31] I asked her if she'd marry me

[00:00:36] And she believed a lie

[00:00:49] Three weeks ago last Saturday night

[00:00:53] Of course it was the day

[00:00:58] The devil put it in my mind to take her life away

[00:01:07] I went into her sister's house

[00:01:11] At eight o'clock one night

[00:01:16] But little did the critter think on her

[00:01:21] I had my spite

[00:01:34] I asked her

[00:01:35] If she'd take a walk with me a little way

[00:01:42] That she and I might have a talk

[00:01:46] About our wedding day

[00:01:51] We walked along until we came to

[00:01:56] My little desert place

[00:01:59] I grabbed this stick off of the fence

[00:02:04] And struck her in the face

[00:02:17] I run my fingers

[00:02:19] Through her coal black hair to cover up my sins

[00:02:25] I drug her to the riverside

[00:02:29] And there I plunged her in

[00:02:35] I started back unto my mill I met my servant John

[00:02:43] He asked me why I was so pale

[00:02:47] And it so very warm

[00:03:01] Come all young men and warning take

[00:03:05] Unto your lovers be true

[00:03:09] And never let the devil get the upper hand of you
