I went down to the Crossroads and called the devil by his name He showed up and he took my hand saying boy you’ll never be the same Before we go you better know there’ll be hell to pay I said I don’t give a damn So let’s be on our way
He spun me around Before I knew it my feet had left the ground
Now when I had my fun and the day was done I had demons swarming round my head I said devil you ain’t said a word about these awful things I dread He said boy I’m the father of lies Believe that much to be true You signed a deal with the devil Now your days are numbered through and through
He spun me around Before I knew it my feet had left the ground
