On a Sunday, after midnight, came a stranger to my town
He sought refuge in the tavern, where I drink my sorrows down
Where do I start? Hand on heart, I swear to God that I'm on the level
Woe is me, Lord set me free. Now I know I made a deal with the devil
Never been much for the card games, but I joined him for a hand
I lost all but for my own name, so I agreed to his demand
Where do I start? Hand on heart, I swear to God that I'm on the level
Woe is me, Lord set me free. Now I know I made a deal with the devil
One day I saw him at the high road
But I could not see his face. He had a handkerchief tied to a walking stick and my guitar in its case
Where do I start? My hand on heart, dig a hole with a pick and shovel
Woe is me, Lord set me free. Now I know I made a deal with the devil
Thank you for watching
