Down in the Delta there's a tattoo parlor
|
With a black and white picture hangin' on the wall
|
Oh, oh of a stripper
|
The men are still talkin' 'bout the rainy night she walked in
|
Took off her shirt like it was nothin' at all
|
Oh, oh what a picture
|
Everyone assumed she'd been drinkin'
|
When she pointed to her shoulders
|
And said, boys, here's what I'm thinkin'
|
|
Put a devil on the left, an angel on the right
|
I'm already livin' in the middle of the fight
|
And round and round and round and round it goes
|
Part of me's in heaven, part of me's in hell
|
Part of me is strugglin' tryin' to find my way through life
|
With a devil on the left and an angel on the right
|
|
Down in the Delta there's a rundown chapel
|
With a worn out floor where a preacher used to pray
|
Oh, oh for the stripper
|
While right across the street they were packed in tight
|
Just a-pushin' and a-shovin', sweatin' by the stage
|
Oh, oh to tip her
|
She brought a lot of men to their knees
|
But only one of them was thinkin'
|
Lord, won't you help her please
|
|
She's got a devil on the left, an angel on the right
|
They've got her dancin' in the middle of the fight
|
And round and round and round and round she goes
|
Part of her's in heaven, part of her's in hell
|
Part of her is strugglin' trying to find her way through life
|
With a devil on the left and an angel on the right
|
|
In a cornfield in Kansas there's a little yellow house
|
With a white picket fence going all the way around
|
Oh, oh mama what's that on your shoulders
|
No, no, no child, maybe when you're older
|
|
Now there's an angel on the left, an angel on the right
|
Ring around the rosie underneath the open sky
|
And round and round and round and round
|
Round and round and round and round they go
|
