The Devils Throne

woke up this morning..found a hole in my back yard Babe.
  said ..woke up this morning baby , found a hole in the high trees of my back yard.
  Guess the Devil found his way in , leaving nothing but bloody wings on a broken dove. 

  He came in so shiny and new babe..Armani suit and tie ..high on cocaine, 
  bloody stained eyes from a fresh kill babe , leaving me lifeless and blue Darling
  High on foolish pride..oh Lord  he was living large.

  why did ya come hunting here Devil ? you know I have nothing left inside.
  I said ..Oh Lord why did you come hunting here Devil , I hve nothing left inside.  
  Took my purse, my guitar , and left me no dignity at all inside.

  Can't ya hear me singing lord..leave that man alone
  Oh can't ya hear me singing Bonnie Rait babe, my Daddy said , leave that man alone.
  he ain't nothing but a thing baby ..sitting high on the Devil's Throne. "

  Don't ya take my song baby , or the devil he' s coming for you.
  Lord, don't ya take my song and make it yours baby , or that Devil he's coming for you.
  leaving you soulless, empty and blue, that Devil..he'll be laughing at you.

Do you have music for this ? It channels some old blues from the 30s and 40s. I can imagine an old Black guy sitting in a Mississippi Delta blues club, strumming a beat-up guitar as he every now and then takes a furtive sip from a bottle. Greatness if I ever saw it ! I'll have fries with that. ??
