| From the Chitlin' Circuit to the Peppermint Lounge
|
| Been run off more than once for goin' underground
|
| Where I met an old bluesman with a walking cane
|
| He wore a stripe suit and used someone else’s name
|
| He said son I’ve seen it all
|
| And it’s not what you think
|
| He said there’s some tough choices to be made
|
| Then he took a little drink
|
| And I heard him say
|
| I do not play no rock and roll
|
| Would not be moved to sell my soul
|
| The demons are out tonight
|
| Rock you sinners
|
| The demons are out tonight
|
| Roll you sinners
|
| Straight down the line
|
| I passed an old church on my way back East
|
| Heard a gospel choir singing of war and peace
|
| I was deeply moved so I stepped inside
|
| I just stood in the back where I could easily hide
|
| A woman in a black robe stood up
|
| And pointed me out
|
| She said Hallelu Hallelu
|
| Oh then she began to shout
|
| And I heard her say
|
| I do not play no rock and roll
|
| I would not be moved to sell my soul
|
| The demons are out tonight
|
| Rock you sinners
|
| Oh the demons are out tonight
|
| Roll you sinners
|
| Straight down the line
|
| Now he could croon a tune as good as anyone
|
| And if he sings a song then that song’s been sung
|
| Some things have tradition, some shine like new
|
| Some things you can’t change no matter what you do
|
| He said my friend I’ve done it all
|
| Either for love or money
|
| And if I laugh at your jokes
|
| Oh that means his jokes are funny
|
| And one more thing
|
| I do not play no rock and roll
|
| I would not be moved to sell my soul
|
| The demons are out tonight
|
| Rock you sinners
|
| The demons are out tonight
|
| Roll you sinners
|
| Straight down the line |
