Lyrics

I worked for the man for fifty long years -sweat so hard it dried up all my tears-Nightmares, flashbacks sleepless nights-For years and years and years something aint right,They grind up my bones and they tried to grind up my soul -I felt like jumping down a deep dark hole -As I walked down the road the Devil come up by my side -I looked at Satin , looked him right in the eyeI said you lost your chance old devil , too many times you lied
too many times you lied.-too many times you lied.-
