Hey Ho On The Devil's Back

As I was walking in the big black woods

Hey ho, the big black woods

I met the evil devil and he offered me a ride

Hey ho, he offered me a ride

He said: "you look tired, let me carry you a while"

Hey ho on the devil's back

There's an evil, little bastard hiding in his eye

Hey ho, of fire, flames and fry

Lord, I'm only human

I'm tired and I wanna go home

Let me ride on the devil's back,

but save my soul

Save my soul

The rain poured down from the grey sky above

Hey ho, the rain pissed down

But the devil he went hasty

and steady running fast

Hey ho, oh this could never last

And then he saw my home through

the branches and the leaves

Hey ho, lay hidden by the trees

Inside my darling loved one

and children oh so sweet

Hey ho, my children oh so sweet

Lord knows you're only human

You were tired and you wanted to go home

Pay me the soul of your one true love

or you will never see your children again

Oh Lord knows you're only human

You were tired and you wanted to go home

Pay me the soul of your one true love

or you will never see your children again

Save my soul!
