Devil's Gonna Get You

Bessie Smith

It's a long, long lane that has no turning And the fire that always keeps on burning Mister Devil down below, pitchfork in his hand And that's where you are going to go, do you understand? Devil's gonna git you Devil's gonna git you Oh, the devil's gonna git you Man, just as sure as you're born Devil's gonna git you Devil's gonna git you Oh, the devil's gonna git you The way you're carryin' on You go away, stay for weeks On your doggone spree Come back home, get in my bed And turn your back on me Oh, the devil's gonna git you I mean the devil's gonna git you Man, the devil's gonna git you Sure as you're born Dirty two timer, dirty two timer Dirty two timer, you ain't coming clean Oh, the devil's gonna git you I mean the devil's gonna git you Oh, the devil's gonna git you You know what I mean I don't want no two time stuff from my regular man Don't want nothing that's been used 'cause it's second hand The devil's gonna git you Oh, the devil's gonna git you Man, the devil's gonna git you Sure as you're born to die --- Devil's Gonna Get You - Bessie Smith
