Welcome to you stranger, I know your story well Its early morn and you left your sweet home, its a trade for this old hotel Crying don't go down where the Devil's gonna sing your song Came in to the station, walked down to the square The suns gone hasn't been too long, now there ain't nobody there, Crying don't go down where the Devil's gonna sing your song Streets are dark and lonesome, east side of the town Where miss Lizzy and the banjo man play the music till the sun goes down Crying don't go down where the Devil's gonna sing your song The crazy man inside you, he won't let you alone by yourselves you'll be trapped in hell, you can hear that jailhouse moan Crying don't go down where the Devil's gonna sing your song Once there came a gambler, silver dollar payed his way They called his name just to play that game, but I heard that gambler say Don't go down where the Devil's gonna sing your song Crying don't go down where the Devil's gonna sing your song Don't go down where the Devil's gonna sing your song
