Within the alternative world, Seven Mary Three have often been compared to the mainstream-sounding, garage/arena rock of post-Ten Pearl Jam, but the group insists that their refusal to alienate themselves from the rest of the world makes them different. Instead, Seven Mary Three offer songs concerning self-discovery and true outsiders isolated from society. Based in Virginia (where the bandmates attended the College of William and Mary), Seven Mary Three signed to the Mammoth label after releasing a self-produced album, Churn, in 1994.

Walk With The Devil By Seven Mary Three
This is from a promotional CD called "Tug", however it's also on the live "Backbooth" released in 2010. The live version omits the second verse.
Em Frequently down at the open air bar C The regulars run a dirty jukebox Bm And scowl at the weak and the swilled in their mock veneer Em And I take my tricks like a miner for coal C I shake their hands until the slippery voiced Bm Waitress lends me a smile and some good advice She says..
Em Don't walk with the devil C If you can't run with him too Bm Don't walk with the devil Em If you can't run with him
Same pattern through the rest of the song for verses and choruses -------------------------
Well the opulence fades with the bottles and cans And I eaves drop in on the locals demands Slither down their olives one by one Little they heed the saying that goes If you talk too loud then you really don't know The best words of advice i could never give them
Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him too Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him
The street is tired and the fever is high The strangers creep in to the sweet delight Of an unknown comfort of taking in what's forbidden Yeah it was such a night when the man rolled in With the gold tooth brow and the silvery grin I knew for sure salvation was his profession And he sat next to me, and I could already to tell He had a question to ask, he had come to collect On a promise we'd made, and I knew that I'd deliver And I said..
Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him too Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him too Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him
And I swallowed my drink, rolled the rust in my mouth And motioned to him he should follow me out To the alley in back, I said "step into my office" And he finally looked at me straight in the eye I could see his jaw drop and the shudder inside Surprised in the wake of his newest epiphany He said "Sir your not who I thought that you were, I never believed and now I'm too sure. I sold you my soul Leave me some words of mercy" And I whispered..
Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him too Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him too Don't walk with the devil If you can't run with him
