Devil’s Doll:Skeeter Davis. - Album - I’ll Sing You a Song and Harmonize Too - on RCA Records in 1959. (Davis’ debut album.) (Intro) (Verse 1) I knew him when he held his head up high and there was love and laughter in his eyes. And then one day the devil’s doll came by she tempted him and he fell. (Verse 2) I knew him when he wouldn’t stay away from home all night and drink til break of day. But devil doll’s all have a certain way of changing heaven to hell. (Bridge) She took his heart that never was untrue and taught him things the devil taught her too. Til he became someone I never knew who lied and cheated and left me. (Verse 3) But now and then I see him passing by in shabby clothes and lost and empty eyes with feel of hate for her that never dies. The devil’s doll was she I knew him when he loved me. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une histoire de désillusion amoureuse où une femme se remémore un homme qu'elle aimait, qui avait autrefois une vie pleine de bonheur. Sa vie a basculé lorsqu'il a croisé la route d'une femme séduisante, qui l'a entraîné dans un tourbillon de vices et de trahisons. Ce personnage, autrefois aimant et fidèle, est devenu méconnaissable, perdu et rempli de regrets. Au fil du temps, elle le voit passer, dévasté et marqué par sa relation avec cette femme, qu'elle considère comme la source de sa destruction. La chanson décrit ainsi le combat entre l'amour et les tentations, et comment l'influence maléfique peut changer radicalement une personne.
