Country Girl Lyrics
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits
Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air
In dreams I think of you
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down
She brings broken dreams, fallen stars
The endless search for where you are
(Sail on, sail on)
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh!
Don't sail away on a crimson tide!
Don't leave your heart on the other side!
Her eyes are an endless flame
Desire with a special name
Don't ever fall in love!
Don't give your heart away!
No never, never fall in love with a country girl!
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits
Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down
She brings broken dreams, fallen stars
The endless search for where you are
(Sail on, sail on)
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh!
Don't leave your heart on the other side!
Her eyes are an endless flame
Desire with a special name
Don't ever fall in love!
Don't give your heart away!
No never, never fall in love with a country girl!

Is anyone else getting demon/succubus feel from this?
"Bust another soul"/"Snatch your soul away" might mean to kill/send to hell and "sail away on a crimson tide" could mean crossing the river Styx.
I guess you have got it right.

With the Band DIO Ronnie also wrote: "Don't dream of women, 'Cause they only take you down!" on the song: "Don't talk to strangers".

It really fooled me for a long time I actually thought the song was a romantic tale about a real girl from the country side...

@Zughiaq Definitely possible, considering the fantasy themes in some of Dio's songs and similar distrustful lyrics in "Don't Talk to Strangers" as someone else mentioned. Crimson Tide is also an NCAA team from Alabama, and it doesn't get much more country than that.

Yeah, this song fucking rocks. Mob Rules is awesome in general, though.
This song reminds me so much of the story of Dido and Aeneas...
I believe this song is the best on the Mob Rules album. The lyrics? I think they pretty much speak fro themselves
only tony can change singers three times and still destroy: ozzy, dio, ian gillian. those albums all kill.
@mrhorn tony iommi i always said it is black sabbath he has the hand of doom ask his guitar if he has the hand of doom

This song kicks ass but dio makes it too complicated for me to explain
TONY IOMMI IS THE FUCKING RIFF MASTER.
@Service to busy his hand is the hand of doom he is black sabbath

After almost 15 years of listening to this song, I JUST NOW got the innuendo in the title. Dio, you are one cunning linguist!
