The devil's going to make me a free man the devil's going to set me free The devil's going to make me a free man the devil's going to set me free I've been down, deep Texas. Mississippi state. Hoping things might go my way. For every hard earned dollar I make there stands a white man just to take it away. Some might say I talk loud, see if I care. Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye I hope he's going to brake these chains. The devil's going to make me a free man the devil's going to set me free The devil's going to make me a free man the devil's going to set me free Another hard day, no water no rest. I saw my chance so I got him at last. I took his six shooter, put two in his chest He'll never say a word no more, he'll never say a word no more. The devil got him good for sure. Ain't got no place to call a home, only chains and broken bones. Ain't got no place to call a home so come on lord won't you take me now Ain't got no place to call a home, only chains and broken bones. Ain't got no place to call a home so come on lord what you waiting for. The devil's going to make me a free man the devil's going to set me free The devil's going to make me a free man the devil's going to set me free
