Nelson, Willie - Devil In A Sleepin' Bag Lyrics






We were headed home in Austin
Caught pneumonia on the road
Taking it home to Connie and the kids
A wheel ran off and jumped a railroad
Then ran through a grocery store

If you want to buy a bus I'm taking bids
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag
He said traveling on the road is such a drag
If we can make it home by Friday we can brag
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag

[guitar]

Well I just got back from New York City
Kris and Rita done it all
Raw perfection there for all the world to see
Lord I heard an angel singing
In the Philharmonic Hall
Rita Coolidge Rita Coolidge cleft for me
And the devil shivered...
And the devil shivered in his sleeping bag

    is it just me or is this one of Willie's most addictive songs?

    It's about a concert that Kris Kristofferson gave at New York. I think that Willie's nickname was the "devil" and he was the drummer.. The song talks about the troubles they were facing while they where returning to Austin.
