“I Broke Bread with the Devil” (words and music by Marty Falle) ISRC Code - TCAJZ2531171

[Verse 1]
I gave you my coat on that cold November
I’d patch your roof when the rain come down
I kept my word like the Book of Proverbs
Never once let my good friend down

Verse 2

He had honey on his lips and hell in his hands
Talked sweet like a hymn in a gospel band

Said grace at my table then stole from the plate
He wore a smile but his heart held hate

[Chorus]
I broke bread with the devil. My friend played me like a fool

Said "Brother" with a grin as he reeled me right in in, I broke bread with the devil

[Bridge]
You smiled real nice at the end of the pew. I was blind but God saw right through

You’re a wolf in wool and a snake in grace. Preach like a prophet, then spit in my face

Last verse:

The Lord won’t bless what the snake has taken. You wore a cross, but the vow was breakin’

A brother in boots, but a soul that's bacon. Some hands are better left unshaken

2^nd chorus
I broke bread with the devil. My friend wore a holy disguise

He spoke of grace while he sharpened the blade. I broke bread with the devil

I broke bread with the devil
