Dancy was a deacon
Every Sunday found him there
At the Lighthouse Gospel Church
With his hands folded in prayer
And standing right beside him
Was his pretty hometown bride
But no one could have guessed
What he was prayin' deep inside
Dancy has a demon livin'
Somewhere in his past
A dark-haired cajun angel was
The Devil dressed in black
Was it really voodoo
Or just weakness in the man
The only time he ever felt
Was when she took his hand
Oh ti 's been so long
But it's still so strong
Every night the Devil comes
And walks through Dancy's dream
She takes him by the hand
And leads him back to New Orleans
The good man's goin' crazy
Somewhere in between
He gives on Sunday mornin'
And he sins in Dancy's dream
Sometimes it's almost like
He's never even there
Other times he swears
He smells the flowers in her hair
He never told his secret
No one would understand
She's the only one who's seen
The dark side ofthat man
Oh ti 's been so long
But it's still so strong
Every night the Devil comes
And walks through Dancy's dream
She takes him by the hand
And leads him back to
New Orleans
The good man's goin' crazy
Somewhere in between
He gives on Sunday mornin'
And he sins in Dancy's dream
Oh it's been so long
But it's still so strong
Every night the Devil comes
And walks through Dancy's dream
She takes him by the hand
And leads him back to
New Orleans
The good man's goin' crazy
Somewhere in between
He gives on Sunday mornin'
And he sins in Dancy's dream
Oh he sins in Dancy's dream
