Sam Collins Devil In The Lion's Den Lyrics

Now my mama's dead : and my papa can't be found
I ain't got nobody : throw my arms around

Yonder comes the devil : going to set this town on fire
Now when the chance comes up : I'm going to bid this town
goodbye

I got ways like the devil : slipping around your gate
So I can find me a good gal : or won't have to take no *hate*

Let me tell you mama : what you said last night
Lay down on my bedside : try to treat me right

Lord I'm going up the country : but crying won't make me
stay
More you cry : the farer I'll ride away
