Devil Blues

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 the 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 and I was a runnin' fool

Hellhounds start to chase me and I was a runnin' fool

My ankles caught on fire, couldn't keep my puppies cool

Four thousand devils with big tails and sharp horns, my Lordy

Saw a thousand devils with tails and sharp horns

Everyone wandred (sic), tried to step on my corns

For miles around I heard men scream and yell, my Lord

For miles around, heard men scream and yell

Couldn't see a woman, I said, "Lord, ain't this Hell?"
