Transcript

Is a long, lonely man has no turning. As a fire that always keeps on burning. There was down below us, it's walking his hand And that's where you are going to go Do you understand?

There was gonna get you There was gonna get you All the devil's gonna get you, man, just to show what you're from There was gonna get you, there was gonna get you All the devil's gonna get you, the way you carry on You go away, day for week, on your dogs gone free.

I'm back home, getting my back, and time you're back on me. All I'm never gonna get you. I mean I'm never gonna get you. Man, the devil's gonna get you as you fall Daddy's two-timer Daddy's two-timer Daddy's two-timer You ain't coming clean All the devil's gonna get you

I mean the devil's gonna get you All the devil's gonna get you You know what I mean I don't want no two times to From my regular man Don't want nothing that's been you Call this black-on-hand That devil's gonna get you All that devil's gonna get you Man, that devil's gonna get you

Tellin' you for a long time
