Nadine
Well I was born the second son of a southern railroad man / My daddy run the engines down while mama worked the land / And I left home at age sixteen to join a ramblin’ band / When I met my sweet Nadine I knew I was a man / Her eyes were blue as summer skies her hair was black as night / Her skin was Creole caramel her dress was honey white / And I knew her to be the whore of many a Quarter man / But once you’ve laid beside Nadine you’ll never love again / Devil his due, devil his due / ‘Cause heaven knows I’ve been through hell with you / Well I burst through the brothel door to take her for my own / But when I came into the room Nadine was not alone / The sheriff jumped up to his feet and threw her to the ground / And when he turned his gun on me I shot the sheriff down / I been in this prison cell now seven days and nights / Drunks and gamblers on my left, killers on my right / I can only pray I see the light of day again / Close my eyes each night and dream, I dream of you Nadine / Devil his due, devil his due/ ‘Cause heaven knows I’ve been through hell with you
