Forgive me, father, for I have seen
So much pain and suffering
Is there any hope for me?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Forgive me, father, for I am lost
In all the trouble I have caused
Now what will become of me?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I went down to the river
I went down, but the river was dry
Went down to the river
And when I closed my eyes
I saw a devil walking in the daylight
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I saw a devil, devil in the daylight
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And he sings hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to me
And he sings
Hallelujah (oh-oh-woah)
Hallelujah (and he sings)
Hallelujah (hallelujah to me)
Hallelujah
I lay down 'til the morning
I lay down (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I lay down 'til the morning comes
To carry me away
See the devil dressed in white
Heaven fell a hundred times
Oh the joy his sorrow brings
When he sings hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to me
Let him sing
Hallelujah (oh-oh-woah, sing)
Hallelujah (let him sing)
Hallelujah (oh, hallelujah to me)
Hallelujah
I saw the devil walking in the daylight
(Hallelujah)
And I saw the devil walking in the daylight
(Hallelujah)
I saw the devil walking in the daylight
But he didn't see me
Oh he didn't see me
