Devil please dont take me down 
all the way on down to hell 
devil please dont take me down 
down to my grave 
Mama's been crying for days 
her sons on that killing line 
mamas been crying for days 
she hears the devil coming down the line 
Mr. Devil, Mr. Devil, dont you take me down 
down to the gallows 
mr. devil, mr. devil dont you take me down 
down to the gallows 
Down to my grave 
I can feel the heat underneath my skin 
of that electric chair 
I can feel the boiling blaze 
of the hell thats coming near 
I killed my only love 
I shot her down three times 
I killed my only love 
now they sentenced me to die 
Mr. Devil, Mr. Devil, dont you take me down 
down to the gallows 
mr. devil, mr. devil dont you take me down 
down to the gallows 
Down to my grave
