The Devil Went Down To Dover Lyrics

A boy blew into town with a guitar on his back

He had peace in his pocket and hope under his hat

He had a fire in his belly as He walked into a bar

He ordered whisky and water and pulled out his guitar

He said now gather round and listen to the tale I tell

It's about a town just like this that descended into hell

For the devil walked among them but they saw him as a king

Now listen to my story and the boy began to sing

There's only one thing that will save you

From the devil and your fate

Love thy neighbour and they will love you

Know the devil breeds only hate

Well the devil goes by many names i know this to be true

Farage, Yaxley Lennon, Braverman, McKinley too

Once he came as Moseley but they kicked him out the door

He blames hunger on the hungry and poverty on the poor

Lies sit at his left hand, greed sits at his right

At his feet the dogs of war are ready for the fight

All the while he steals the souls of the fakers and the fools

Til they end up hating just like him then he'll turn their hate on you

There's only one thing that will save you

From the devil and your fate

Love your neighbour and they will love you

Know the devil breeds only hate

Suddenly the boy stopped his song and put down his guitar

The crowd turned round and saw the devil had walked into the bar

The boy embraced the devil, kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear

And with a flash of light and puff of smoke the devil disappeared

There's only one thing that will save you

From the devil and your fate

Love your neighbour and they will love you

Know the devil breeds only hate
