The .357 String Band
Up Jump the Devil
As I'm walking out one day in the morning
Morning so fine
As I'm walking out one day in the morning
Morning so fine
Well up jump the devil from behind
A mighty pine
Say
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Up jump the devil and I jump back
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
I said old man what you want with me
This morning, this morning so fine
I said old man what you want with me
This morning, this morning so fine
He said I want to make your dirty old soul mine
Say
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Up jump the devil and I jump back
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
I sat down beside him
I cannot say I mind
The old man started smiling in thе early morning light
He said I'll give you gold son
Gold and prеcious stones
I'll give you guilty precious, the price of your soul
Well I signed my name inside the book
Now it is too late
Well I sold my soul in the morning light
And so I sealed my fate
Say
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Up jump the devil and I jump back
Well I walked to the end of the street
In the morning, in the morning so fine
Yeah, walked to the nearest street
In the morning, in the morning so fine
I hung my head, then hung myself
From that old knotty pine
