DECOY
Molly bore the mark of the devil
Her poor ma and pa they never stood a chance
She shot into the world and the doctor caught her
They could hear her holler in the South of France
Johnny was a joiner on the south side
He had the hope of the world in his eyes
But he didn't bet on Molly til he first saw her coming
Raised his head to the skies
And she sang
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
So how bout it
Now, Johnny weren't the first and he won't be the last
To have Molly tie her fingers tight around his heart
He lost his head any time they were together
Lost his mind any time they were apart
Now, once a month or maybe twice
Johnny indulged his only vice
Shooting craps with the boys at Smokey Joe's
Now the boys see more and more of poor Johnny
At the only place the ladies cannot go
And she sings
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
So how bout it
Solo
He's on the whiskey, on the wine
He's on the thin white line
Whatever's going, what you got
He'll have it all, he'll take the lot
Cos now the devil's on his side
He's got the monkey on his back
Gonna ride him, get inside him
Spurs will dig and whips will crack
And now that Molly's had her fun
His soul is cooked, her deed is done
Now she's on to the next, still spinning her web
Poor Johnny fell victim to this dangerous vixen
Cos the devil's her game and she'll be singing his name
Singing
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
I'm a decoy
Her poor ma and pa they never stood a chance
She shot into the world and the doctor caught her
They could hear her holler in the South of France
Johnny was a joiner on the south side
He had the hope of the world in his eyes
But he didn't bet on Molly til he first saw her coming
Raised his head to the skies
And she sang
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
So how bout it
Now, Johnny weren't the first and he won't be the last
To have Molly tie her fingers tight around his heart
He lost his head any time they were together
Lost his mind any time they were apart
Now, once a month or maybe twice

Shooting craps with the boys at Smokey Joe's
Now the boys see more and more of poor Johnny
At the only place the ladies cannot go
And she sings
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy

Singing
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil, I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
I'm a decoy
I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
She said I'm not the devil
I'm a decoy
