[verse 1]
when the pilgrim heard the gospel preach, he left his friends in the town
that beautiful city, he tried to reach, but the devil just throwed him down

[chorus]
oh, the devil has thrown him down
the devil has thrown him down
told him plainly to his face, “you never shall wear the crown”

[verse 2]
when jesus appeared on the mountain tops, his [?] white as snow
the [?] down in the valley stopped and they did no further go

[chorus]
oh, the devil has thrown him down
oh, the devil has thrown him down
told him plainly to his facе, “you never shall wear thе crown”

[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
oh, a travelin’ father brought his little son and he cries to make him sound
and as he call him, the work begun, the devil has thrown him down

[chorus]
oh, the devil just throwed him down
ooh, the devil just throwed him down
told him plainly to his face, “you never shall wear the crown”
[verse 4]
those who used to be members of the church, now scattered all around
in bar room and gambling, sins of shame, now the devil has thrown them down

[chorus]
yes, the devil has thrown him down
ooh, the devil has thrown him down
told them plainly to their face, “you never shall wear the crown”

[verse 5]
why did you say you’ve been born of god and stand on holy ground
but still keep walkin’ on the [?]? why, the devil has throwed you down

[chorus]
yes, the devil has throwed you down
yes, the devil has throwed you down
he told you plainly to your face, “you never will wear the crown”

[guitar solo]

[verse 6]
watch the morning star, don’t forget to pray, let your soul keep heaven’s sound
for he sends some with you all the way and the devil can’t keep you down

[chorus]
no, the devil can’t keep you down
ooh+ooh, the devil can’t keep you down
well, he’ll tell you plainly to your face, “you never will wear the crown”
