| 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 |
