Devon, by Tom Neel To the music of Irvin Berlin’s “Cheek to Cheek”\u00a0 Devon, I’m a Devon and my hide’s so red if you could only see …. That beautiful meat that lives inside of me makes delicious burgers, ribs and roasted treats. Devon, a red Devon Field raised and happy as I can only be…. It’s Virginia’s Piedmont that’s the life for me. Until I’m on the plate for you ain’t it sweet. (chorus) On your plate I feel your knife and fork around me, Veggies and potatoes I see, and a nice iced tea or a beer or three. Devon, I’m a Devon The sun lights my hide so you can see…. That beauty that lies inside of me. As were dancing on the table together cheek to cheek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
