Doing time for murder
In the first degree
Said I'll sell my soul
Just to be free

But up jumped the devil with his tiny light
Up jumped the devil
Use my funky side

When I got out on the outside
Lord I had it made
Live high on the south side
In the shade I stay

But damn up jumped the devil
With his red suit on, oh mama
Up jumped the devil
He said go head on

The temptation was too much
(up jumped the devil)
I was such a soft touch
(up jumped the devil)
My will is not too strong
(up jumped the devil)
did not know right from wrong
did not know right from wrong

Then the time came round
For the judgement day
Tried to break my deal
In every which way, yes sir

But up jumped the devil with his two best friends
Up jumped the devil, mama mama
Look at the shape I'm in

The temptation was too much
I was such a soft touch
My will is not too strong
Did not know right from wrong
I didn't know right from wrong
But it's too late

Up jumped the devil
