Devil’s Been Talking Bad
An Archive Production
I
Someone's been talking about you
Behind your back;
Someone's spreading lies about you
Like an old time hack.
Someone's been saying things
I know can't be true;
Someone's been throwing slings
All over town about you.
The devil's been talking bad
To anyone who would believe.
I can't sleep in my bed;
It makes me want to leave.
II
A
Devil's been talking bad about you;
It is about to drive me mad;
Devil's saying maybe I've been had
And I'm shaking my fist at you.
The devil's voice becomes a yell in my ear
And someone's talking nice about you—
He’s whispering good things about you
But I haven't heard a word in over a year.
Devil's talking bad,
Taking my head for a spin;
Devil's taking my hand,
Looking at me with a grin.
B
Devil's been talking bad about you--
Someone else is talking good--
They are making a split in this old brain,
Round and round, driving me insane.
