DEVIL IS A’CALLING
Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone

Lord, cleanse my soul in the riverbed
Let the waters rise up
Let the waters rise up
I'm saying, “Lord, oh, Lord,
Wash this from my hands”
I met the devil by the tree
Didn't know where it would lead
Oo, oo
Well my love, he never did lie nor cheat
Never did no wrong by the Lord nor me
'Til he took a walk through the garden one day
Heard a whisper, had a taste
Felt that fire water in his veins
And I was saying,
"Oh, devil is a'calling
Oh, will you go a'walking?
Oh, devil is a'calling,
What will you do, my darling?”
Well, his tongue only craved it more with time
Soon wasn't I, but a bottle he was sleeping by
So I took a walk through the garden one night
Met a shadow on the way
Oh, I never meant to go astray
And the Lord was saying,
“Oh, devil is a'calling
Oh, will you go a'walking?
Oh, devil is a’calling
What will you do, my darling?”
(Oh, oh, oh)
With fire on my lips
I didn't hear the sound
Of the door swung wide
Feet crossed the ground
(Come with me, love)
With fire on my lips
(Take another step)
I didn't hear the sound
(Walk with me)
Of the door swung wide
(Through the gates)
His feet crossed the ground
(Come with me, love)
With hell on his breath
(Take another step)
Steel in his hand
(Walk with me)
I didn't hear him fire it
But I felt the lead
Oh, devil is a'calling
Oh, will you go a'walking?
Oh, devil is a’calling
Devil is a'calling
Oh, will you go a'walking?
Oh, devil is a’calling
(Oo)
