Lyrics Devils Gonna Get You - Bessie Smith
It's
a
long,
long
lane
that
has
no
turning
And
it's
a
fire
that
always
keeps
on
burning
Mister
devil
down
below
Pitchfork
in
his
hand
And
that's
where
you
are
going
to
go
Do
you
understand?
Devil's
gonna
git
you
Devil's
gonna
git
you
Oh,
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
Man,
just
as
sure
as
you's
born
Devil's
gonna
git
you,
Devil's
gonna
git
you,
Oh,
the
devil's
gonna
git
you,
The
way
you're
carryin'
on
You
go
away,
stay
for
weeks
On
your
doggone
spree
Come
back
home,
get
in
my
bed
And
turn
your
back
on
me
Oh
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
I
mean
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
Man
the
devil'
sgonna
git
you
Sure
as
you's
born
Dirty
two-timer,
dirty
two-timer,
Dirty
two-timer,
you
ain't
coming
clean
Oh
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
I
mean
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
Oh
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
You
know
what
I
mean
I
don't
want
no
two-time
stuff
From
my
regular
man
Don't
want
nothing
that's
been
used
'Cause
it's
second-hand
The
devil's
gonna
git
you
Oh
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
Man
the
devil's
gonna
git
you
Sure
as
you're
born
to
die
