The Tiger Lillies Devil's Child song lyrics

A Sailor came to town

A little seaside town

He courted there a country girl

Until her heart he had found

When she in love gave him

Her body and her limbs

He took her avariciously

When he performed the sin

The sailor left the town

Left her in grief unbound

Nine months went by

In labour then a baby boy was found

They say the sailor was the devil in disguise

He cast a spell on the young girl

Seduced her with his lies

They say he was his spawn

The devils so deformed

No mercy for the mother then

A devils child stillborn

The mother took her child with anguish crazed was she

And threw herself along with child into the raging sea
