The Devil and Me Blues (Idris Davies)

Just this mornin, what did I see?
The devils in my bread, grinnin up at me!
Woah, Lord tell me what did I see?
Said the devils in my bread - woah he’s a-grinnin up at me!

Well I packed my bags, an I hit the road,
But I hear footsteps - the devil is close.
Woah I hit that highway road.
I hear me some footsteps - I think that devil’s keeping close.

The devil whispers - by my side,
I cant see a thing cos the devil’s closed my eyes.
Yeah, I said the devil’s closed my eyes
I feel lost Lord, I feel lost, woah,I feel lost, lonely an blind

The devil watches, over my soul
Crouchin at my door, just waitin to take control.
Woah - watches over my soul, over my soul,
He’s a-crouchin at my door, just a-waitin to take control!

I’m tired, of walkin the line,
So tired - I could cry,
Woah, so tired of walkin down the line.
Well I feel so tired, wont you let me just sit right here an cry?

So just this mornin, the devils in my bread
He’s a-laughin and a-teasin, he’s wantin me dead.
Said just this morning, the devils in my bread,
He’s just a-laughin and a-teasin, woah Lord the devil wants me dead.
