When the Devil Went to Sleep

When the Devil Went to Sleep
Hark back to the dag when in childish
play
You did something naughty OF bad,
How your mother would say, as she
took you from play,
With look which was earnest and
sad,
The Devil is waiting for bad little
folks.
And will take them to He'll TO keepl
We must try with our might To always
do right,
For he never goes to sleep!
No, he never goes to sleep my dear,
He never goes to sleep ~
But she never knew the thines We do
OF the wears which passed between.
Nor who would reyel in place Of the
Devil.
When this war came on the scene.
| All the horrible things the kaiser
springs,
Would make the Devil weepi
In the Belgian region his victims are
legion;
And he never goes TO sleep.
No, he never goes to sleep. my friend,

With a bottle of glass filled up with
gas
In tiendishness Wilhelm did revell
He slipped up behind, where old Satan
was blind.
And he 'gassed" the very Devil
4 And the Devil went to sleep, my
friend,
Yes, the Devil went to sleep!
"Ah-hav' said the kaiser, 'Yust see I!
