E g a c d(x)
Devil gonna take you down to hell, for your soul to claim
Lost to the world, just as well bound with a ball and chain 
Many a mortal man has fell and many have heard his lies 
But those insane from the endless pain must think him wondrous wise 

Devil may care to win your life, Betting your life to lose 
Bent to the bottle, Born to the knife, ripe with the stink of booze 
Many a god forsaken man has borne that awful price 
Steeped in the sin of the demon gin they seal their dark demise 

Catch the devil if you can, drunk on the devils dance 
Chasing the dream of luck again, fly to the desert sands 
Many a dire and dirty dog has tramped that dusty way 
But those undone by the desert sun have sold thier souls to stay 

Devil may curse your aching heart, devil may grind your bones 
Stuck in a god forsaken land far from the hearth of home 
Many a broken man has fell, into a paupers grave 
Dead to the love of the god above and the soul he might have saved 

Chorus: 
Devil gonna take you down, 
Devil gonna take you down. 
Bury your bones beneath the ground 
Devil gonna take you down. 

B.E.
