Devil's Child Lyrics

Tiger Lillies Devil's Child

A Sailor came to town
a little seaside town
he courted there a country girl
to her heart he had found
When she in love gave him
her body and her limbs
he took her avariciously
when he performed the sin
The sailor left the town
left her in grief unbound
nine months went by
in labour then a baby boy was found
They say the sailor was the devil in disguise
he cast a spell on the young girl
seduced her with his lies
They say he was his spawn
the devils so deformed
no mercy for the mother then
a devils child still born
The mother took her child with anguish crazed was she
and threw herself along with child into the raging sea
