| Saint Michael, the archangel
|
| Came down and he ran out the devil
|
| The devil went and hid in a fishing town
|
| Now he lives off the beach off Long Island Sound
|
| And he plays his drums by the sea of rum
|
| Sit in the sun all day, watching ships sail away
|
| Then Michael would put him back in the ground
|
| But he won’t find the devil in Stanford town
|
| When I was younger I got in trouble
|
| I was a sailor, I fell for the bottle
|
| Of all the places I was ever sent
|
| I met the devil off the coast of Connecticut
|
| And he played his drums by the sea of rum
|
| Stayed up all night and drank until I woke in the tank
|
| and Michael would put him back in the ground
|
| But he won’t find the devil in Stanford town
|
| And he played his drums by the sea of rum
|
| Cards up his sleeves they fall like leafs
|
| Save money, when the day is done
|
| Cause I’ll be back at your door when my money’s gone |
