Five broken bottles on the kitchen floor
She could play the tambourine
'Til she could play no more
She gave me five hundred dollars
Just to let her know
Who she could get in touch with
So she could sell her soul
Well, John come to meet her in his Pontiac GTO
A demon in disguise
With leather boots and gold
His eyes - dark as night
His smile - cold as snow
And scars from his fights
With Beelzebub's death blow
"I'll need two silver dimes to make the transfer now"
"Then you go to the crossroads and bow before the crowd"
"Now look to the horizon, and follow the sound of boos"
"When there's nothing left but death, you'll have the power of the blues"
Ten broken bottles in the kitchen sink
Shadow of a girl who used to dress in pink
She turned to the drink
Her friends watched her sink
"Well I'd like to help"
But they couldn't bear the sick
Now t'ree years later when she was on her last breath
Along came Johnny to take her to her death
And just as he was lookin'
For levers to the dream
Out hops through the girl
With outrageous tambourine
Ooh!
The Devil don't
The Devil don't
Dance
That's what your mama said
That's what your mama said
The Devil don't
The Devil don't dance
Whoah
That's what your mama said
That's what your mama s', mama s'
That's what your mama said
That's what your mama s', mama s'
That's what your mama said
That's what your mama s', mama s'
That's what your mama said
That's what your mama s', mama s'
That's what your mama said
Mama s', mama s'
That's what your mama said
Mama s', mama s'
That's what your mama said
That's what your mama said
