As I was walking in the big black woods Hey ho, the big black woods I met the evil devil and he offered me a ride Hey ho, he offered me a ride He said: “you look tired, let me carry you a while” Hey ho on the devil’s back There’s an evil, little bastard hiding in his eye Hey ho, of fire, flames and fry
Lord, I’m only human I’m tired and I wanna go home Let me ride on the devil’s back, but save my soul, Save my soul
The rain poured down from the grey sky above Hey ho, the rain pissed down But the devil he went hasty and steady running fast Hey ho, oh this could never last And then he saw my home through the branches and the leaves Hey ho, lay hidden by the trees Inside my darling loved one and children oh so sweet Hey ho, my children oh so sweet
Lord knows you’re only human You were tired and you wanted to go home Pay me the soul of your one true love or you will never see your children again
Oh Lord knows you’re only human You were tired and you wanted to go home Pay me the soul of your one true love or you will never see your children again, Save my soul!
