1
The Devil came from Kansas. Where he went to I can't say
2
Though I teach I'm not a preacher, and I aim to stay that way
3
There's a monkey riding on my back, been there for some time
4
He says he knows me very well but he's no friend of mine
5
I am not a humble pilgrim
6
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
7
And don't beg for silver paper
8
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
9
The Devil came from Kansas. Where he went to I can't say
10
If you really are my brother then you'd better start to pray
11
For the sins of those departed and the ones about to go
12
There's a dark cloud just above us, don't tell me 'cause I know
13
I am not a humble pilgrim
14
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
15
And don't beg for silver paper
16
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
17
No I never came from Kansas, don't forget to thank the cook
18
Which reminds me of my duty: I was lost and now I look
19
For the turning and the signpost and the road which takes you down
20
To that pool inside the forest in whose waters I shall drown
21
I am not a humble pilgrim
22
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
23
And don't beg for silver paper
24
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
