Old man Cole lived in a shotgun shack Outside of town by the swamp and the railroad tracks Old folks say He's a mean old snake Keep your distance boy for your mama's sake He got a daughter named Cherry Lane Sweet as back porch bourbon, black as the old iron train No man would lay a hand for fear of Old Cole's bite But sweet Cherry found her way to my bed one night And I was singing Sweet black Cherry lips Sweet black Cherry hips Sweet black Cherry love Oh Praise the Lord above Old Cole made a fortune selling bathtub Gin Folks called it Devil's gold stained by lust and sin He put that cash in mason jars and stuffed them in the walls Where the blackened mold and spider webs grew up around it all Sweet Cherry hate her old man for the bastard that he was For the darkness in his eyes and his twisted kind of love And she swore someday she'd run away, God knows it wasn't right The way he came calling in the middle of the night for those Sweet black Cherry lips Sweet black Cherry hips Sweet black Cherry love Oh she prays to God above! Hear her praying, Lord God We made a plan just as dark and cold as that black pit in old Cole's soul She lay waiting as he crept in one night But I slipped up behind with my daddy's hunting knife Well we tore those walls apart as he lay there bleeding Knife in his back just knowing she was leaving, with me And we threw that devil's gold in my '69 Chevelle Watching flames in the mirror, taking Cole back to hell for those Sweet black Cherry lips Sweet black Cherry hips Sweet black Cherry love Oh Praise the Lord above for those Sweet black Cherry lips Sweet black Cherry hips Sweet black Cherry love Oh Praise the Lord above
