They say the devil's coming out to take my soul
And boy, I know him better than you think you know
Cause I shot a man dead in the dead of night
It felt so wrong and it felt so right
But if the devil's coming out to take my soul
I'm gonna play him a little ditty, a little rock 'n' roll

Oh, the devil's coming out to take my soul
I said bring him on in so we can see the show
[?] Son of a gun
My days are numbered and I'm on the run
Cause if the devil's coming out to take my soul
He's gonna hear my little ditty before I go, yeah

Now they say I'm coming down I'm gonna take your soul
Yeah, I wanna hear that little ditty you call "rock 'n' roll"
Yeah, I know your name and will you know mine?
No matter where you go I'm never far behind
So run and run away as fast as you can
Cause when you see my face you know exactly who I am
