| Oh! |
| Let me go, let me go, let me go, devil.
|
| Stay away, stay away, from my soul!
|
| I got so low, got so low, yes so low, devil.
|
| I let you, evil you, get control!
|
| First the gamblin', then the cheatin',
|
| Then the bottles of rye.
|
| Got the habit, had to have it, or die'
|
| I lost m' pride, lost m' friends, it’s the end, devil.
|
| Let me go, let me go, let me go!"
|
| (Instrumental)
|
| I’m gonna fight, gonna fight, with my might, devil!
|
| I gotta win over sin if I can.
|
| I’ve been a fool, yes a fool, just your tool, devil.
|
| A disgrace to the race of man!
|
| Quitin' gamblin, quitin' cheatin'
|
| And the bottles of rye.
|
| Gonna do it, gotta do it or die,
|
| I’m gonna pray, pray my way, through the day, devil
|
| So you may, just as well let me go… |
