Ring the moon like a broken bell
When she drags you from the hill
Daddy's gonna burn down the still
We can watch it from the rooftop
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Lay in to the frying pan
Now she kisses her own hand
With the fiddle on the fire
I took a leap into the fog
Sleeping on a hollow log
Now I'm coughing with no mouth
You can keep yourself inside
But you know you cannot lie
When the devil's your only friend
