The Devil |
| It’s been rainin' in the mountains and the river’s on the rise |
| And we cannot hardly reach the other side |
| And the devil, he’s in trouble; |
| I can see it in his eyes |
| If you don’t give him shelter, he won’t have no place to hide |
| The devil deals in dyin' and he travels in a hearse |
| He treats you like a dog, now; |
| he’d like to treat you worse |
| But he don’t have the answers, an' if he did, he’d lie |
| The devil is a joker an' he don’t want you alive |
| An' some you win, an' some you lose |
| An' the winner’s all grin and the losers say: |
| «Deal the cards again |
| «Won't you deal the cards again.» |
| L.A.'s in California, Lord, I been there many times |
| It is an education, to be sure |
| I loved a lovely lady there, she opened up my eyes |
| She ran a dancin' school; |
| it was a front, she loved the Lord |
| It’s been rainin' in the mountains and the river’s on the rise |
| And we cannot hardly reach the other side |
| And the devil, he’s in trouble; |
| I can see it in his eyes |
| If you don’t give him shelter, he’ll have no place to hide |
| It’s been rainin' in the mountains and the river’s on the rise |
| And we cannot hardly reach the other side |
| And the devil, he’s in trouble; |
| I can see it in his eyes |
| If you don’t give him shelter, he’ll have no place to hide |
| Oh, it’s rainin' in the mountains and the river’s on the rise |
| And we cannot hardly reach the other side |
| And the devil, he’s in trouble; |
| I can see it in his eyes |
| If you don’t give him shelter, he’ll have no place to hide |
| The devil deals in dyin' and he travels in a hearse |
| He treats you like a dog, now; |
| he’d like to treat you worse |
| But he don’t have the answers, an' if he did, he’d lie |
| The devil is a joker an' he don’t want you alive |
| An' some you win, an' some you lose |
| An' the winner’s all grin and the losers say: |
| «Deal the cards again |
| «Oh, won’t you deal the cards again.» |
