| The devil’s going to make me a free man
|
| The devil’s going to set me free
|
| Oh, the devil’s going to make me a free man
|
| The devil’s going to set me free
|
| I went down, deep Texas, Mississippi state
|
| Hoping things might go my way
|
| For every hard-earned dollar I make
|
| There stands a white man just to take it away
|
| Some might say I talk loud, see if I care
|
| Unlike them, don’t walk away from my fear
|
| I’ve busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye
|
| I hope he’s going to break these chains, oh yeah
|
| The devil’s going to make me a free man
|
| The devil’s going to set me free
|
| The devil’s going to make me a free man
|
| The devil’s going to set me free
|
| (Yeah, set me free)
|
| Another hard day, no water, no rest
|
| I saw my chance, so I got him at last
|
| I took his six-shooter, put two in his chest
|
| He’ll never say a word no more
|
| Oh, he’ll never say a word no more
|
| The devil got him good for sure
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| Only chains and broken bones
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| So come on Lord, won’t you take me now?
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| Only chains and broken bones
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| So come on Lord, what you waiting for?
|
| (Well now)
|
| Oh, the devil’s going to make me a free man
|
| The devil’s going to set me free
|
| The devil’s going to make me a free man
|
| The devil’s going to set me free
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| (The devil’s going to make me a free man)
|
| Only chains and broken bones
|
| (The devil’s going to set me free)
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| (The devil’s going to make me a free man)
|
| So come on Lord, won’t you take me now?
|
| (The devil’s going to set me free)
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| (The devil’s going to make me a free man)
|
| Only chains and broken bones
|
| (The devil’s going to set me free)
|
| Ain’t got no place to call a home
|
| (The devil’s going to make me a free man)
|
| So come on Lord, what you waiting for?
