I saw the devil

The contrary man

I saw the devil down the long long road

He said to me, boy, boy, boy

I want your soul

I said no



Took a while, thought about it

Down at the crossroads temptin' fate

Took a while, thought about it

Down at the crossroads temptin' fate

Said yeah you can take my soul



Zany antics of a beat generation

In their wild search for kicks

Fighting drinking scorning convention

Making wild love

Making wild love



I saw the devil

The contrary man

I saw the devil down the long long road

He said to me boy, boy, boy

I want your soul

I said no



Yeah Yeah
