Christine's Tune Lyrics

She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise


Now a woman like that all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the time that she's been with you
She'll speak your name to everyone she can


She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise


Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealously and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She's just the kind that you can do without


She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise


Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It's all right to call her, but I'll bet you
The moon is full and you're just wasting time.


She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
In disguise

Yes, it was Christine Hinton! She also inspired the song "Guinevere" from CSNY.

John Einarson wrote on Hot Burritos: The True Story of The Flying Burrito Brothers: “The Christine in the song was Christine Hinton. It was written about her. When Gram and I were having our individual marital problems, Christine Hinton was right in there stirring it all up. So we got her in a song. She was Crosby's girlfriend at the time. It was a very incestuous social scene back then. We were mad at her, which is why the lyrics came out like that. When...

It was a very incestuous social scene back then. We were mad at her, which is why the lyrics came out like that. When the poor girl was killed we changed it to 'Devil In Disguise,' but of course that was after the album had come out. I don't like those lyrics much now. They're just too misogynous."
