My mama she went south
Don't know what she's talking about
Said the hound was dark and the stranger was light
But his face was never in plain sight
Whoa my daddy he went south
Down the river and out the mouth
Said the ocean is wide as the river is long
And twice as wide again my son
I said Be-ah-Be'elzebub
Be'elzebub sure in my heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My baby she went south
Down, down the doctor's house
Said she got a spell and she paid fair price
But that doctor is a friend of mine
Whoa my brother he went south
Kept on running til his final hour
Said the day of judgement is drawing near
You've got to sing it so the Lord can hear
I said Be-ah-Be'elzebub
Be'elzebub sure in my heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
I've done evil and I've done bad
All on account of the life I've had
But I don't mind where they bury my bones
I'm gonna dance on fire and brimstone
I said Be-ah-Be'elzebub
Be'elzebub sure in my heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
Be-ah-Be'elzebub
Be'elzebub sure in my heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
My heart
