Hey Ho [On the Devil's Back] lyrics

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 gray sky above

Hey ho, the rain pissed down

But the devil, he went hasty and steady runnin' 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

Save my soul

Save my soul

Save my soul

Save my soul

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

Save my soul

Save my soul
