The Fiddler & the Devil

My time has come We've had some fun I had it all I thought I'd won I've seen the world And I've made my peace So just do with me as you please Before I go I go alone Don't ask me this And one more song It ain't too costly It ain't too cheap Just relax I'm on my knees I had my bread I drank my wine All the while as you bide your time Don't make me beg Don't make me plead Cause now I've made my peace Before I go I go alone Allow me this And one more song It aint too costly No it aint too cheap Just relax and dig this beat Pull the bow across my strings Is this really happening Be it wraith or be it shade Death she comes for all one day My body shakes, my fingers ache It's not my fiddle but my soul to take From sea to sea and shore to shore Ever is she waiting at my door The dye is cast, the web is spun I'll seal the deal into morning sun I'm on your doorstep till song is done Then for your soul I come I've seen it all, every foreign land Sheherazade to sons mortal man Went down to Georgia with Charlie's band But now paralyzed I stand Pull the bow across my strings Is this really happening Be it wraith or be it shade Death she comes for all one day My body shakes, my fingers ache It's not my fiddle but my soul to take From sea to sea and shore to shore Ever is she waiting at my door
