Lyrics
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
I went down, deep Texas, Mississippi state
Hoping things might go my way
For every hard earned dollar I make
There stands a white man just to take it away
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear
I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye
I hope he's going to break these chains
Oh, yeah
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
Another hard day, no water, no rest
I saw my chance so I got him at last
I took his six shooter, put two in his chest
He'll never say a word no more
He'll never say a word no more
The devil got him good for sure
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on, Lord, won't you take me now?
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on, Lord, what you waiting for?
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's gonna make me a free man)
Only chains and broken bones (the devil's gonna set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's gonna make me a free man)
So come on, Lord, what you waiting for? (The devil's gonna set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's gonna make me a free man)
Only chains and broken bones (the devil's gonna set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's gonna make me a free man)
So come on Lord, what you waiting for? (The devil's gonna set me free)
