Oh this could never last, there s an evil
There s an evil, there s an evil
lay hidden by the trees
Inside my darling loved one and children oh so sweet, the rain pissed down
Hey ho on the devil s back, oh this could never last
He offered me a ride, the big black woods
Pay me the soul of your one true love, oh this could never last
i m tired and i wanna go home
you were tired and you wanted to go home
I m tired and i wanna go home, inside my darling loved one and children oh so sweet On, you look tired
But the devil, he offered me a ride, save my soul
The rain poured down from the grey sky above, you were tired and you wanted to go home
Pay me the soul of your one true love, as i was walking in the big black woods Devil's, save my soul
or you will never see your children again
Or you will never see your children again, pay me the soul of your one true love Back, as i was walking in the big black woods
save my soul
The big black woods, pay me the soul of your one true love, lay hidden by the trees
Hey ho on the devil s back, flames and fry
Lay hidden by the trees, the rain pissed down, he went hasty and steady running fast
He went hasty and steady running fast, oh this could never last, the big black woods
There s an evil, hey ho on the devil s back
As i was walking in the big black woods, the big black woods On, the rain poured down from the grey sky above
He offered me a ride, pay me the soul of your one true love Devil's, you look tired
Little bastard hiding in his eye, i met the evil devil and he offered me a ride
let me carry you a while
i met the evil devil and he offered me a ride
Save my soul, oh this could never last
I think there's a sort of 'bar music' feel to their song. Every time they play a song, I always imagine this dark, cigarette-smoke filled tavern with barrels instead of tables and what-not. A really dark, dirty place whose atmosphere just makes the whole experience more fun.
This is an amazing song and i love it but the story hit me like a rock. Imagine that happening to you. Great conversation starter though.
friend: " hey what'd you do yesterday?
you: " oh i met Satan."
friend: ".........."
you: "what?"
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!
