| Jesus christ was born like me in a stable | |
| His mom and dad did all that they were able | |
| How did they know which way he'd turn | |
| Didn't want to get their fingers burned | |
| To take which path from right or wrong | |
| He picked right and i picked wrong | |
| I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze | |
| Remembering girls and the way they teased | |
| Mama and papa saying this i tell | |
| We loved you boy but you're going to hell | |
| Roll the devil's dice - no second chance | |
| Roll the devil's dice - i did the dead-man's dance | |
| I did the dead-man's dance | |
| Ever since nine i was juvenile | |
| Stealing from pa - did petty crime | |
| Officer said for me no hope | |
| The only good thing for you's a rope | |
| Left me danging high and dry | |
| They picked my bones and the crows took flight | |
| I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze | |
| Remembering girls and the way they teased | |
| Mama and papa saying this i tell | |
| We loved you boy but you're going to hell | |
| Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast | |
| Roll the devil's dice - and i got the six | |
| Roll the devil's dice - all three of them | |
| Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice | |
| So here i am on judgement day with angels | |
| The lord jesus is reckoning the tables | |
| He said i know you, didn't take you long | |
| Been bad down there, didn't string along | |
| You know which way the righteous choose | |
| Gonna swing you high from the reaper's noose | |
| Roll the devil's dice - no second chance | |
| Roll the devil's dice - i did the dead-man's dance | |
| Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast | |
| Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice | |
| I did the dead-man's dance |
