The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
Oh the devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
Mmm
I went 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 break these chains
Oh yeah
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
Mmmm
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
Oh 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
Oh well now
Oh the devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
The devil's gonna make me a free man
The devil's gonna set me free
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
Come on Lord
what you waiting for
