Hoyt Axton - The Devil lyrics
[Hoyt Axton - The Devil lyrics]
It's been rainin' in the mountains and
The river's on the rise
And we cannot hardly reach the other side
And the devil
He's in trouble I can see it in his eyes
If you don't give him shelter
He won't have no place to hide
The devil deals in dyin' and
He travels in a hearse
He treats you like a dog
Now he'd like to treat you worse
But he don't have the answers, an' if he did
He'd lie the devil is a joker an'
He don't want you alive
An' some you win, an' some you lose
An' the winner's all grin and the losers say:
"Deal the cards again
"Won't you deal the cards again"
LA's in California, Lord
I been there many times
It is an education, to be sure
I loved a lovely lady there
She opened up my eyes
She ran a dancin' school it was a front
She loved the Lord
It's been rainin' in the mountains and
The river's on the rise
And we cannot hardly reach the other side
And the devil
He's in trouble I can see it in his eyes
If you don't give him shelter
He'll have no place to hide
It's been rainin' in the mountains and
The river's on the rise
And we cannot hardly reach the other side
And the devil
He's in trouble I can see it in his eyes
If you don't give him shelter
He'll have no place to hide
Oh, it's rainin' in the mountains and
The river's on the rise
And we cannot hardly reach the other side
And the devil
He's in trouble I can see it in his eyes
If you don't give him shelter
He'll have no place to hide
The devil deals in dyin' and
He travels in a hearse
He treats you like a dog
Now he'd like to treat you worse
But he don't have the answers, an' if he did
He'd lie the devil is a joker an'
He don't want you alive
An' some you win, an' some you lose
An' the winner's all grin and the losers say:
