Lyrics

Following the people I see doing well
Looking for the devil I went down in hell
And there I found that up was a down
And a right was a wrong and a smile was a frown
Kindness was a sin, to lose was to win
Fire burning soul, Satan in control
A rotten egg was perfume, a sigh of gladness was gloom
An act of kindness a kick, and when you healthy you sick
And a prayer was a spell, so there's no need to tell
A good woman down in hell was a Jezebel
On my journey under I perceived the soul
Of Dracula and Hitler shoveling hot coals
Down in a pit, Lord a bread was a stone
I see meat that was bone, a cry of joy was a groan
Sweetness was like pain, the sane was the insane
Lowness was a virtue, freshness was like mildew
A raise of pay was more work, the whoa sing song was a joke
A sugar cake was the thing, that cat and dog burying
Devil money so dread, a penny was twice the size of me head
Gold and silver was made out of solid lead
Suddenly I notice I was face to face
With the prince of darkness in a stinking place
And then there was a horrible, horrible stench
Coming from a old, old bench, where he sat with an ugly wench
Body like a goat, and he boom sea by he throat
Sew pants on he head, with eyes big and red
Hey, fifty naked female behind him stroking he tail
While the imps and them fought, the devil was having sport
He just hold any soul with a fiery pole
And ram the devil poker in they asshole
I see I was putting me own self in a jam
Is then I started running, right now here I am
Back here on earth, where an up is an up
And a down is a down, and when you wrong I tell you you're wrong
Now hear this refrain, oh Lord, never me again
Is white rum make me see, down there for me
A rotten egg was perfume, a sigh of gladness was gloom
An act of kindness a kick, and when you healthy you sick
And a prayer was a spell, so there's no need to tell
A good woman down in hell is a Jezebel
