Lyrics Hey Ho On the Devil's Back - Katzenjammer

Hey Ho On the Devil's Back

As I was walking in the big black woods
Hey ho, the big black woods
I met the evil devil and he offered me a ride
Hey ho, he offered me a ride
He said, «You look tired, let me carry you a while»
Hey ho on the devil’s back
There’s an evil, little bastard hiding in his eye
Hey ho, of fire, flames and fry
Lord, I’m only human
I’m tired and I wanna go home
Let me ride on the devil’s back
But save my soul
Save my soul
The rain poured down from the grey sky above
Hey ho, the rain pissed down
But the devil, he went hasty and steady running fast
Hey ho, oh this could never last
And then he saw my home through the branches and the leaves
Hey ho, lay hidden by the trees
Inside my darling loved one and children oh so sweet
Hey ho, my children oh so sweet
Lord knows you’re only human
You were tired and you wanted to go home
Pay me the soul of your one true love
Or you will never see your children again
Save my soul!
Save my soul!
