anita carter - satan's child lyrics

[verse 1]
in the tennessee mountains where the hill folk dwell
there’s a story that the old folks tell
john thomas had always been a sweet loving man
’til he let satan’s child take ahold of his hand

[verse 2]
pretty nell would be waiting by the spring everyday
she lived near enough to watch john on his way
with a face like an angel and a heart that was wild
and n0body knew she was really satan’s child

[chorus]
satan’s child was a raven beauty
heart as black as a ravens wing
bless you hold your loved ones to you
satan’s child will come between

[verse 2]
they hung poor john for being just a man
but hе was tempted more than any man could stand
hе forgot about his home and he forgot about his wife
and he thought he could save himself by taking nelly’s life

[verse 3]
so, if your home is happy stay away from the spring
satan’s child is waiting, unhappiness to bring
don’t hurt the ones who love you, don’t let your heart run wild
or you’ll wind up like john thomas, holding hands with satan’s child
[chorus]
satan’s child was a raven beauty
heart as black as a ravens wing
bless you hold your loved ones to you
satan’s child will come between
satan’s child will come between
