Get Thee Behind Me, Satan Lyrics
Get Thee Behind Me, Satan - Lee Hays
Written by：Lee Hays
Boss comes up to me with a five dollar bill
Says get you some whiskey boy and drink your fill
Get thee behind me satan
Travel on down the line
I am a union man
Gonna leave you behind
A red headed woman took me out to dine
Says love me baby leave your union behind
Get thee behind me satan
Travel on down the line
I am a union man
Gonna leave you behind
On the fourth of July the politicians say
Vote for us and we'll raise your pay
Get thee behind me satan
Travel on down the line
I am a union man
Gonna leave you behind
Oh then the company union sent out a call
They said join us in the summer we'll forget you in the fall
Get thee behind me satan
Travel on down the line
I am a union man
Gonna leave you behind
If anyone should ask you your union to sell
Just tell him where to go send him back to hell
Get thee behind me satan
Travel on down the line
I am a union man
Gonna leave you behind
