I've been down, deep Texas. Mississippi state |
Hoping things might go my way |
For every hard earned dollar I make |
There stands a white man just to take it away |
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care |
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear |
I've busted bones, broken stones, |
Looked the devil in the eye |
I hope he's going to break these chains |
The Devil's going to make me a free man |
The Devil's going to set me free |
The Devil's going to make me a free man |
The Devil's going to set me free |
Another hard day, no water no rest |
I saw my chance so I got him at last |
I took his six shooter, put two in his chest |
He'll never say a word no more, |
He'll never say a word no more |
Bridge: |
The devil got him good for sure |
Ain't got no place to call a home |
Only chains and broken bones |
Ain't got no place to call a home |
So come on lord won't you take me now |
Ain't got no place to call a home |
Only chains and broken bones |
Ain't got no place to call a home |
So come on lord what you waiting for |
The Devil's going to make me a free man |
The Devil's going to set me free |
The Devils going to make me a free man |
The Devil's going to set me free |
