Ludlow, Ludlow
I drove miles down to Ludlow
As I drove through the Springs
There was nothing to see
Except Colorado iron and coal
Death comes rolling in a train car
Heard from Rockefeller
Bury them folks in that cellar
The Special cuts ya down hard
Now there’s just a statue
And it cries as it looks at you
That cellar door don’t open no more
But the iron and coal still flow
Ludlow, Ludlow
I drove miles down to Ludlow
As I drove through the springs
There was something to see
I set fire to that iron and coal

Reverend, Reverend please come quick
Cause I got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks of good ole' Miss
He drove a series 10 Cadillac and wore cigar on his lip
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
'said I know you I know you, young man
I know you by the state of your hands
You're a six string picker just as I... I am
Let me learn ya some I know a few turns to make all the girls dance
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
Foolish foolish was I
Damn my foolish eyes
'cause that man's lessons had a price
Oh sweet price
My sweet soul
Everlasting
My very own
Eternal life
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
and sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
