She leaned into the lips of death
And took bread from his table
She walked hand in hand with him
Until she fell unable

She was soft and gentle 'nough
What a flower bright was she
Girl who turned away the night
So the day was loved by he

Winter came, by and by
Bleached meth upon the ground
He saw her dance in frozen lace
Poor devil swooned as she went 'round

He played for her a fiddle's string
This gold-crowned woman held 'im
To her a fiend with the whitest of wings
For him a damned spirit's salvation

Though the Demon was kind and tender
And gave love long and often
The king of death's ebony touch
Built for her an ivory coffin

So if you fear the devil dear
I beg you, pity him
For he has cried so many tears
He lives inside the ocean
