Devil Blues Songtext
von Sylvester Weaver

Had a dream while sleeping
Found myself way down below, my Lord
I had a dream while sleeping
Found myself way down below

Couldn′t get to heaven
Hell's a place I had to go
Devil had me cornered
Stuck me with his old pitchfork
Devil had me cornered
Stuck me with his old pitchfork
And he put me in an oven
Thought he had me for roast pork


Hellhounds start to chasin′ me
Man, I was a runnin' fool
Hellhounds start to chase me
Man, I was a runnin' fool
My ankles caught on fire
Couldn′t keep my puppies cool

A thousand devils with
Long tails and sharp horns, my Lordy
Saw a thousand devils
With tails and sharp horns
Everyone wondered
Tried to step on my corn

For miles around me
I heard men scream and yell, my Lord
For miles around me
Heard men scream and yell
Couldn′t see a woman
I said, "Lord, ain't this hell?"
