The Devil Sat Down And Cried

The Devil Sat Down And Cried - Savannah Churchill

Hallelujah

Amen

Brother amen

Brothers and sisters

The devil's after you

But if you've got religion

There's nothing he can do

Brothers and sisters

Don't let him get you down

Swing out with hallelujah

And spread the word around

Now a sinful man was booked to go

The devil was a-waiting down below

But something happened just before he died

He had a vision saw the light

He told the devil

Go fly a kite

And so the devil sat down and cried

Oh the devil sat down and cried

For the sinner had hurt his pride

Just to show 'twas no mistake

He told the devil

Go jump in the lake

And so the devil sat down and cried cried

Now once I was filled with misery

The devil said you belong to me

Just wait until you 'cross the great divide

Now are you answered

Is it so

Then told the devil the place where to go

And so the devil sat down and cried

Oh the devil sat down and cried

He was ever so mortified

Whether folks believe or not

There was the devil in a heck of a spot

And so the devil sat down and cried cried cried

Devil sat down and cried

Take that cried is that cried baby
