The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
I've been down, deep texas. Mississippi state.
Hoping things might go my way.
For every hard earned dollar I make
There stands a white man just to take it away.
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care.
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear
I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye
I hope he's going to brake these chains.

The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
Another hard day, no water no rest.
I saw my chance so I got him at last.
I took his six shooter, put two in his chest
He'll never say a word no more, he'll never say a word no more.
The devil got him good for sure.

Ain't got no place to call a home,
Only chains and broken bones.
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on lord won't you take me now
Ain't got no place to call a home,
Only chains and broken bones.
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on lord what you waiting for
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
