[00:19.583]O My O My
[00:22.005]What a wretched life
[00:24.254]I was born on the day
[00:26.272]That my poor mother died
[00:28.526]I was cut from her belly
[00:30.697]With a stanley knife
[00:33.084]My daddy did a jig
[00:35.015]With the drunk midwife
[00:37.540]Who's that yonder all in flames
[00:41.947]Dragging behind him a sack of chains
[00:46.306]Who's that yonder all in flames
[00:50.569]Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim
[00:55.143]
[01:12.263]O poor heart
[01:13.694]I was doomed from the start
[01:16.154]Doomed to play
[01:17.960]The villian's part
[01:20.260]I was the baddest Johnny
[01:22.453]In the apple cart
[01:24.316]My blood was blacker
[01:25.621]Than the chambers of a dead nun's heart
[01:29.194]Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
[01:33.475]Nailing my face to the hitching fence
[01:37.687]Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
[01:42.006]Up jumped the Devil and off he crept
[01:46.314]
[02:02.957]O no O no
[02:04.919]Where could I go
[02:06.951]With my hump of trouble
[02:09.238]And my sack of woe
[02:11.247]To the digs and the deserts of Mexico
[02:15.520]Where my neck was safe from the lynching rope
[02:20.136]Who's that yonder laughing at me
[02:23.999]Like I was the brunt of some hilarity
[02:28.665]Who's that yonder laughing at me
[02:32.821]Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3
[02:37.083]
[02:53.391]Ha-Ha Ha Ha
[02:55.545]How lucky we were
[02:58.001]We hit the cathouse
[02:59.963]And we sampled their whares
[03:02.733]We got as drunk
[03:04.126]As a couple of Czars
[03:06.494]That night I swallowed
[03:08.065]My lucky star
[03:10.692]Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
[03:14.794]Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof
[03:19.062]Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
[03:23.102]Up jumped the Devil and said "Here is your man and I got proof"
[03:28.393]
[03:43.831]O no o no don't go
[03:46.837]O slow down Joe
[03:49.022]The righteous path
[03:50.128]Is straight as an arrow
[03:53.224]Take a walk
[03:54.124]And you'll find it too narrow
[03:57.328]Too narrow for the likes of me
[04:01.017]Who's that hanging from the gallow tree
[04:05.104]His eyes are plucked but he looks like me
[04:08.927]Who's that swinging from the gallow tree
[04:13.281]Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me
[04:18.548]
[04:32.968]Down we go Down we go Down we go
[04:40.986]The Devil and me Down we go down down down
[04:49.408]Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go
[04:55.050]To Eternity Down we go We go down down down
[05:02.645]We go down down down down down ad inferno

O My O My
What a wretched life
I was born on the day
That my poor mother died
I was cut from her belly
With a stanley knife
My daddy did a jig
With the drunk midwife
Who's that yonder all in flames
Dragging behind him a sack of chains
Who's that yonder all in flames
Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim
O poor heart
I was doomed from the start
Doomed to play
The villian's part
I was the baddest Johnny
In the apple cart
My blood was blacker
Than the chambers of a dead nun's heart
Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
Nailing my face to the hitching fence
Who's that milling on the courthouse steps
Up jumped the Devil and off he crept
O no O no
Where could I go
With my hump of trouble
And my sack of woe
To the digs and the deserts of Mexico
Where my neck was safe from the lynching rope
Who's that yonder laughing at me
Like I was the brunt of some hilarity
Who's that yonder laughing at me
Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3
Ha-Ha Ha Ha
How lucky we were
We hit the cathouse
And we sampled their whares
We got as drunk
As a couple of Czars
That night I swallowed
My lucky star
Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof
Who's that dancing on the jailhouse roof
Up jumped the Devil and said "Here is your man and I got proof"
O no o no don't go
O slow down Joe
The righteous path
Is straight as an arrow
Take a walk
And you'll find it too narrow
Too narrow for the likes of me
Who's that hanging from the gallow tree
His eyes are plucked but he looks like me
Who's that swinging from the gallow tree
Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me
Down we go Down we go Down we go
The Devil and me Down we go down down down
Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go
To Eternity Down we go We go down down down
We go down down down down down ad inferno
