O My O My. What a wretched life. I was born on the day. That my poor mother died. I was cut from her belly. With a stanley knife. My daddy did a jig. With the drunk midwife. Who's that younder all in flames. Dragging behind him a sack of chains. Who's that younder all in flames. Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim. O poor heart. I was doomed from the start. Doomed to play. The villians part. I was the baddest Johnny. In the apple cart. My blood was blacker. Than the of a dead nun's heart. Who's that milling on the courthouse steps. Nailing my face to the hitching fence. Who's that milling on the courthouse steps. Up jumped the Devil and off he crept. O no O no. Where could I go. With my hump of trouble. And my sack of woe. To the digs and deserts of Mexico. Where my neck was safe from the lynching rope. Who's that younder laughing at me. Like I was the brunt of some hilarity. Who's that younder laughing at me. Up jumped the Devil 1 2 3. Ha-Ha Ha Ha. How lucky we were. We hit the cathouse. And sampled their whares. We got as drunk. As a couple of Czars. One night I spat out. My lucky stars. Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof. Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof. Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof. Up jumped the Devil and said "Here is your man and I got a proof". O no don't go O no. O slow down Joe. The righteous part. I straight as an arrow. Take a walk. And you'll find it too narrow. Too narrow for the likes of me. Who's that hanging from the gallow tree. His eyes are hollow but he looks like me. Who's that swinging from the gallow tree. Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me. Down we go Down we go Down we go. The Devil and me Down we go down down down. Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go. To Eternity Down we go We go down down down. Down we go we go down down down. Down we go the Devil and me to Eternity.
