As I went down a sad mans road
I never had no place to go
I joined the Devil on my right
He said to rob and steal tonight
I don't believe I can, be a better man
I went down where the water sings
I went to see what it would bring
Now, could it wash my sins away
And point me to a good mans ways
I don't believe I can, be a better man
Who knows what I have planned to do
Who knows if I could see it through
Have I already sold my soul
Oh, when the Devil took control
I don't believe I can, be a better man
