the 40 acre mule - shake hands with the devil lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i went down to the river
to wash my sins away
and that preacher, he took one look at me
and he turned me away
i don’t know where you’re goin’
but i sure know where you’ve been
and ain’t enough dirty water in the whole d-mn world
to wash away your sins

[verse 2]
i went on down to the city
to find a way to pay
and that union man, he looked me up and down
and he turned me away
i don’t know where you’re goin’
but i sure know where you’ve been
and i’ll be d-mned if i give you a job
i better never see you again

[chorus]
it’s true i’ve seen some hard times
and i’ve known bad company
but what i do with my own d-mn life
that’s between my maker and me
and i might go out to california
i might go down to mexico
i might go down to h-ll, shake hands with the devil
and make myself right at home

[verse 3]
i looked up to the heavens
and i raised my hands on high
and i said, “sweet jesus, if you’re lookin’ at me
won’t you please give me a sign”
and that’s when the clouds, they parted
and the sunshine hit my face
and i knew then and there that no matter what i did
i’d always find some grace

[chorus]
it’s true, i’ve seen the hard times
and i’ve known bad company
but what i do with my own d-mn life
that’s between my maker and me
and i might go out to california
i might go down to mexico
i might go down to h-ll, shake hands with the devil
and make myself right at home
