The Devil has made my body
and sold it to the Lord
Angels laid my body on a couch
Lord looked at my belly
and he found the devil’s mark
and he burned that sign with a holly torch
and inside my stomach God planted a little grain
He said that soul will rise up from that seed
plow the ground and water it well
you can go anywhere
now you got, boy, everything that you need
The Devil’s on my finger
and God’s around my neck
i’m slowly walking empty road
All alone, all alone, all alone
like a drowner who is searching for a boat
now i’m keep on walking,
years passing by and by passing — through the fire, ice and snow
staying on my knees,
i’m asking where I’m going to praying heart and devil’s in my bones
staying on my knees,
i’m asking where I’m going to praying heart and devil’s in my bones
