I' feel the shiver, as I' stared into river, I' was aching with, a withering pain
Deep dark truth, thin, a sharp black suit, stood before me
We went uh' walken' and we promptly got tuh' talkin' bout a buck an that Julie conferred
He would ease my pain, but, my life; he'd take. If,' I' hurt her

So', surely, he would come
So', surely, he would come

Tonight, The Devil, will,' be lookin' fer' me, Oh LORD!
I've lived my ways, my, wicked ways, would save me
Tonight, The Devil, will,' be lookin' fer me, Oh my LORD!
I' lived my ways, my, wicked ways, would save me

So, many moons, that sunk into, my deep, lagoon, until; the evening, and I' finally come
The words, I spoke. Left a heart, near broke, an, I' left Her
My heart ha, burned. It was the pain. I'd lost returnin', Anne, I' knew, The Devil surely would see
I had', been so cold,' to the one,' sweet soul,' who had loved me?

I knew that, He, would come
And, surely, He, would come

Tonight, The Devil, will be lookin' fer' me, Oh LORD!
I meant my ways, my, wicked ways, would save me
Tonight, The Devil, will be lookin' fer me, Oh my LORD!
I've lived my ways, my, wicked ways, would save me

Oh,. Fer' sake me,'
Oh,. For' sake, me,'
Oh,. For, save me
