F
I met the devil on the side of the road one day
He said "how do you do?" I said it's hard to say
Bb
So he smiled at me with a wicked grin
F
He reached into his coat and then
C
He gave me a bottle full of something sweet
Bb F
Said I'll fill it up every time we meet
F
Oh mama the way that I'm livin
Lyin' and a sinnin' and I just change
Oh mama the way that I'm livin
If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame
F
One little drop is all it took
To get my name in his book
Bb
Now I sleep all day and I'm out all night
F
And I can't tell wrong from right
C Bb
You know I'd change if I could, But being bad, it feels so good
F
Oh mama the way that I'm livin
Lyin and a sinnin and I just change
Oh mama the way that I'm livin
If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame
F
On the day I die when they lay me down
I know where my soul is bound
Bb
Don't you cry, and don't you weep
F
Cause it's too late to rescue me
C
But if you see the devil com in your way
Bb
Get down on your knees and start to pray
F
Oh mama the way that I'm livin
Lyin and a sinnin and I just change
Oh mama the way that I'm livin
If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame
