making winners out of sinners better leave before it's done.

By a swamp in Alabama in the cold in the damp. 
 E 
Sittin reading by the light of a kerosene lamp. 
 A 
Lives a holly roller with a mission on her mind. 
 E 
Got to spread the word to anybody she can find. 
 B 
You can hear her screaming any time in night or day.

This is what she says to keep the demons away.

Her brother and her sister said that she brought them down. 
Steppin on the bus that was heading to town. 
There they started drinking, they got into a fight.

When the holy roller came to town to pay the bail, 
this is what she sang as she was leaving the jail. 

Run devil run, the angels...

Picking cotton for a livin keep 'em on the right track. 
Visiting the nieghbours trying to spread the good news. 
Singing gospel music with a hint of the blues. 
All of them determined to deliver the goods, 
now you hear the music coming out on the woods. 

Run devil run, the angels...
