Halloween Horrors: The Devil Can’t Dance

 
“Wispy Woman” — J. Strickland; 2020



sweet is the day, when you pass it away

with your hips and your thighs and your feet and your legs

she surely can’t dance, but she surely can sway

what it’s really about is the lips on her face

it’s a sin, girl

it’s a sin, girl

when you sway, oh

it’s a sin


I do not know where she learned it all from

her daddy’s side or maybe her mom

sweet Jesus knows what I’m talking about

it’s the devil’s work when she comes around

it’s a sin, girl

it’s a sin, girl

when you sway, oh

it’s a sin


I heard the truth in an old country song

the preacher’s not right if his wife is all wrong

the devil can’t dance, but she surely can shake

the devil can’t dance, but she surely can sway
