Devil, don't start duckin' and dodgin', and turnin' out the lights
Devil, don't start duckin' and dodgin', and turnin' out the lights
Some trouble might start, and I've got to defend my rights
The Devil hollered out, "Breakfast!", and the big chef, he rung the bell
The Devil hollered out, "Breakfast!", and the big chef, he rung the bell
But when they put cornbread on my plate, that's when war broke out in Hell
The Devil hollered out, "What in the hell can be going wrong?"
The Devil, he hollered out, "What in the hell can be going wrong?"
I had kicked over a table one mile-and-one-half long
"Now, big Devil you keep still! Little devil don't you even mumble or buzz!"
"Big Devil, you keep still! Little devil don't y'all even mumble or buzz!"
"Darn, I will be a bigger devil, than the Devil ever was!"
I out with my pistol, and I covered the whole durned lousy crew
I out with my pistol, I covered the whole durned lousy crew
"I'll kill you, big Devil, and all your young ones, too!"
"Now, the deed to this palace is the only thing I want to see."
"The deed to this palace is the only thing I want to see."
"I'm going to make Mr. Devil sign over this Hell to me."
