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
