Am Henrietta, Indiana mill townC Locked the factory down and shut it up tightG My daddy and my brother and sixteen-hundred othersF Lost everything they had in the nightAm Daddy got a taste for the hard stuffC Henrietta, Indiana was dryG We'd ride out to Putney, he'd tell me that he loved meF The drive home was always so quietAm G He had a devil in his eye, eyeAm Like a thorn in the pawAm7/G Disregard for the lawF Disappointment to the Lord on highAm My brother practiced preaching in the basementC Perspiration on his face 'til I knewG That something was missing, his spirit was willingF He could not believe it was trueAm "Blessed be the poor," he saidC "Your treasure is on high."G All of Henrietta, Indiana heard me HallelujahContinues after the adF when I finally saw the devil in his eyesAm G Oh, the devil in his eye, eyeAm Like a thorn in the pawAm7/G Disregard for the lawF Disappointment to the Lord on highAm I was coming home lateC From midnight to eightG The radio said they'd ID'd the platesAm Left three men deadAm Made their escapeF "By now," said the sheriff,F "They'll be in the next state."Am "Will we be able to catch them?"C "Can they bring the dogs in?"G "Can they call up the Bureau?"G "Do they have next-of-kin?"Am Cameras came to my doorAm I opened it wideF They thought I was cryingAm C G F It was something in my eye, eye, eye,Am C G F eye, eye, eye, ohAm At night I leave a bottle on the tableC The Bible open to the Sermon on the MountG Blessed be the poor of Henrietta, IndianaF But happy are the ones that get outAm I think I'll drive over to PutneyC The store'll be open 'til twelveG The empty parking lot, the lights, the lonely kid, the registerAm I see it all clear as a bellAm G I got a devil in my eye, eyeAm Like a thorn in the pawAm7/G Disregard for the lawF Disappointment to the Lord on highAm G Eye, eyeAm Like a thorn in the pawAm7/G Disregard for the lawF Disappointment to the Lord on high
