[Verse 1]
Em
I was born way back in the woods & swamp
Em
On the Hickory River shore
Em
In a dirty old one-room pine-log shack
Em
With sawdust on the floor
Em
Was a graveyard out in the back of the house
Em
And a skull up over the door
Em
I been handling snakes since I was three
Em
And I ain't going to take it no more
 
[Chorus]
Em          A
Because I'm evil
                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me
           A
I said I'm evil
                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me
D5 N.C.              A5 N.C. G5       E5  N.C. E5
All my life I've been  evil  as I can be

[Verse 2]
Em
My daddy was a Louisiana mojo man
Em
The devil followed him around
Em
You always know when grass wouldn't grow
Em
Where his foot wouldn't touch the ground
Em
My momma could snap her fingers
Em
And make the fire come tumbling down
Em
I'm the seventh son of the seventh son
Em
You better not mess around
 
[Chorus]
Em         A
I said I'm evil
                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me
           A
I said I'm evil
                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me
D5 N.C.              A5 N.C. G5       E5  N.C. E5
All my life I've been  evil  as I can be
