1
O My O My
2
What a wretched life
3
I was born on the day
4
That my poor mother died
5
I was cut from her belly
6
With a stanley knife
7
My daddy did a jig
8
With the drunk midwife
9
Who's that yonder all in flames
10
Dragging behind him a sack of chains
11
Who's that yonder all in flames
12
Up jumped the Devil and
13
he staked his claim
14
O poor heart
15
I was doomed from the start
16
Doomed to play
17
The villians part
18
I was the baddest Johnny
19
In the apple cart
20
My blood was blacker
21
Than the chambers of a dead nun's heart
22
Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
23
Nailing my face to the hitching fence
24
Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
25
Up jumped the Devil and off he crept
26
O no O no
27
Where could I go
28
With my hump of trouble
29
And my sack of woe
30
To the digs and deserts of Mexico
31
Where my neck was safe from
32
the lynching rope
33
Who's that yonder laughing at me
34
Like I was the brunt of some hilarity
35
Who's that yonder laughing at me
36
Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3
37
Ha-Ha Ha Ha
38
How lucky we were
39
We hit the cathouse
40
And sampled their whares
41
We got as drunk
42
As a couple of Czars
43
One night I spat out
44
My lucky stars
45
Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
46
Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof
47
Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
48
Up jumped the Devil and said
49
"Here is your man and I got the proof"
50
O no don't go O no
51
O slow down Joe
52
The righteous part
53
Is straight as an arrow
54
Take a walk
55
And you'll find it too narrow
56
Too narrow for the likes of me
57
Who's that hanging from the gallow tree
58
His eyes are hollow but he looks like me
59
Who's that swinging from the gallow tree
60
Up jumped the Devil and
61
took my soul from me
62
Down we go Down we go Down we go
63
The Devil and me Down we go down down down
64
Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go
65
To Eternity Down we go We
66
go down down down
67
Down we go we go down down down
68
Down we go the Devil and me to Eternity
69
We go down down down down down ad inferno
