The devil met me by the lake
He said hey son now take a break
I can see you been working hard
Why don’t you have this here cigar
Then he bought me a brand new violin
And that thing started playing and fiddling;
I begged him not to take my soul
But he insisted that rock n roll
He said Listen son you gotta pay the toll
Or I can turn you into coal
So he took my body
So he took my body
So he took my body
He took my corpse
So he took my body
He took my corpse
So I started playing that violin
And my soul went straight to him
I didn’t have to think or do nothin
And the money rolled right in
And the money rolled right in
And the money rolled right in
Then he bought me a brand new guitar
He said this shit will take you so fuckn far
So I bought the cow and I bought that fuckn’ farm
And now I wanna die alone
