I saw the devil
The contrary man
I saw the devil down the long long road
He said to me, boy, boy, boy
I want your soul
I said no

Took a while, thought about it
Down at the crossroads temptin' fate
Took a while, thought about it
Down at the crossroads temptin' fate
Said yeah you can take my soul

Zany antics of a beat generation
In their wild search for kicks
Fighting drinking scorning convention
Making wild love
Making wild love

I saw the devil
The contrary man
I saw the devil down the long long road
He said to me boy, boy, boy
I want your soul
I said no

Yeah Yeah
