Bessie Smith - Devil's Gonna Get You Lyrics

It's a long, long lane that has no turning
And the fire that always keeps on burning
Mister Devil down below, pitchfork in his hand
And that's where you are going to go, do you understand?

Devil's gonna git you
Devil's gonna git you
Oh, the devil's gonna git you
Man, just as sure as you're born

Devil's gonna git you
Devil's gonna git you
Oh, the devil's gonna git you
The way you're carryin' on

You go away, stay for weeks
On your doggone spree
Come back home, get in my bed
And turn your back on me

Oh, the devil's gonna git you
I mean the devil's gonna git you
Man, the devil's gonna git you
Sure as you're born

Dirty two timer, dirty two timer
Dirty two timer, you ain't coming clean

Oh, the devil's gonna git you
I mean the devil's gonna git you
Oh, the devil's gonna git you
You know what I mean

I don't want no two time stuff from my regular man
Don't want nothing that's been used 'cause it's second hand

The devil's gonna git you
Oh, the devil's gonna git you
Man, the devil's gonna git you
Sure as you're born to die
