Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, the devils gonna make me a free man
The devils gonna set me free
Oh, the devils gonna make me a free man
The devils gonna set me free
[Verse 2]
I went down, deep Texas, Mississippi state
Hoping things might go my way
For every hard earned dollar I make
There stands a white man just to take it away
[Verse 3]
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear
I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye
I hope he's gonna break these chains
Oh yeah
[Verse 4]
The devils gonna make me a free man
The devils gonna set me free
The devils gonna make me a free man
The devils gonna set me free
[Verse 5]
Another hard day, no water, no rest
I saw my chance so I got him at last
I took his six shooter, put two in his chest
He'll never say a word no more
Oh, he'll never say a word no more
The devil got him good for sure
[Verse 6]
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on, Lord, won't you take me now?
[Verse 7]
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on, Lord, what you waiting for?
[Verse 8]
Oh, the devils gonna make me a free man
The devils gonna set me free
The devils gonna make me a free man
The devils gonna set me free
[Verse 9]
Ain't got no place to call a home
The devils gonna make me a free man
Only chains and broken bones
The devils gonna set me free
Ain't got no place to call a home
The devils gonna make me a free man
Come on, Lord, won't you take me now?
The devils gonna set me free
[Verse 10]
Ain't got no place to call a home
Oh, the devils gonna make me a free man
Only chains and broken bones
The devils gonna set me free
Ain't got no place to call a home
The devils gonna make me a free man
Come on, Lord, what you waiting for?
The devils gonna set me free
