If you should walk out in the morning To fetch your water from the well Good people please beware Little children do take care Watch out for the devil's interval
When strumming through the woods in springtime When evening blackbirds coo and caw Such sounds of joy and sadness May hide the prince of darkness Beware the devil's interval Beware the devil's interval
The kettle whistlin' in the kitchen The chiming clock that's in the hall Should they sound e flat to a Then lucifer is on his way Here comes the devil's interval Here comes the devil's interval
Don't take your loved one to the dance hall Lest music drag you down to hell Pay no mind to songs like these For I may be Mephistopheles Singing the devil's interval
