Text: Paul McCartney. Run Devil Run by Paul McCartney.

Run devil run, the angels having fun 
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done
 B
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, 
 E                                        A  G  A                   E 
Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run 
 E
By a swamp in Alabama in the cold in the damp
 E
Sittin reading by the light of a kerosene lamp
 A
Lives a holly roller with a mission on her mind
 E
Got to spread the word to anybody she can find
 B
You can hear her screaming any time in night or day
 E
This is what she says to keep the demons away 

 E
Run devil run, the angels having fun 
 E
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done
 B
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, 
 E                                        A  G  A                   E 
Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run 

 E
Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down 
 E
Steppin on the bus that was heading to town 
 A
There they started drinking, they got into a fight 
 E
The sheriff introduced them to the jailhouse for a night 
 B
When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail 
 E
This is what she sang as she was leaving the jail 

 E
Run devil run, the angels having fun 

 E
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done
 B
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you, 
 E                                        A  G  A                   E 
Listen what I'm saying to you Run . . . Run Devil Run

 E
Well by the middle of the summer they were back in the shack 
 E
Picking cotton for a livin keep 'em on the right track 
 A
Visiting the nieghbours trying to spread the good news 
 E
Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues 
 B
All of them determined to deliver the goods 
 E
Now you you hear the music comin out on the woods 

 E
Run devil run, the angel having fun 
 E
Making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done
 B
When he gets through, he'll be coming after you,
