Dancing with the Devil Lyrics

Mama tried to save my soul

Pleadin' turn baby turn from danger

Mama, don't you know you bear no blame

I've been playin a losin' game

Temptation, she knows my name

And Sin never been a stranger

So down

Oh down

Hangman's come to set me free

Oh down

Won't slow down

Been living too long this way

With one foot on the gas

And the other

In the grave

So mama don't you cry

Hangman been comin' for a long time

Mama save your tears

You gotta let me go

Oh mama let it lie

I'll be dancin' with the Devil in a house on fire

Hangman's playin' our song

And the Devil, he dances slow

Mama, life ain't been kind

Helpin' hands knocked me in my teeth

I'll take my knocks and I'll pay my dues

Hangman's singin' my name in blues

All the hands I won, this one I'll lose

Nothing sweet in life comes free

So down

Oh down

Hangman's come to claim my heart

And down

All the way down

Goes a heart that life did freeze

But the coldest heart, it melts

In the fire

That waits for me

So mama don't you cry

Hangman been comin' for a long time

Mama save your tears

You gotta let me go

Oh mama let it lie

I'll be dancin' with the Devil in a house on fire

Hangman's playin' our song

And the Devil, he dances slow

Destiny's catchin' up on me

For playin' it fast and loose

Hangman, he's catchin' up on me

To catch my neck up in his noose, and a

Blood moon rises

Blood moon, crimson skies and

Hangman's comin'

With the sunrise

So mama, don't you cry when the moon hangs low

Don't you cry when the moons sinks down

Oh mama, don't you cry when the rooster crows

I take my solace in that sound

Oh mama, please say goodbye

I'll be dancin' with the Devil in a house on fire

Hangman's playin' our song

His last rights are never wrong

Says forever won't feel like long

To go

So long as we dance it slow

So long as we dance it slow
