Lyrics
Reverend Lee ran to the water, yeah
Prayed to the Lord, uh-huh
'Bout old Satan's daughter
Seems in his dreams
While he lay sleepin', yeah
She climbs in his bed
Starts a-runnin' and weepin', uh-huh
Reverend Lee, she said
"Lord knows I love you
I would not even, no, no, no
I wouldn't even place God above you"
"Lord, please don't test me
Down where she touched me now
My mind is so hazy, yeah
And my body is hungry, uh-huh"
Twistin' and turnin', uh, uh
Yeah, beggin' and pleadin', yeah, yeah
Lovin' and burnin'
Pantin' and breathin', yeah, yeah
Reverend Lee
Ran screamin' to the water
Prayed to the Lord, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Bout old Satan's daughter, right now
God rolled the thunder
Yes, then He hurled the lightnin'
God seemed to be angry, yeah, yeah
Lord, it sure was frightenin'
Reverend Lee lifted his arms up high
Said, "Heavenly Father
Take me home to the sky"
Then the thunder grew louder
Darkened conditions, yeah, yeah
Just then a voice said
"Child, God can't be petitioned"
He cried out, "Oh Lord, oh Lord
Why hast Thou forsaken me? Yeah
I've been a good man
Yes, my vows were all taken"
Just then I said the Devil
Came peekin' up from the water
And he said in a dry voice
"Son, God will not barter", yeah
Reverend Lee, yeah, yeah
Went screamin' from the water, yeah, yeah
Hotly pursued by
Old Satan's daughter, yeah
Uh-huh, ha-ha, ha-ha-ha (Gonna get you, gonna get you, gonna get you)
Ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (Gonna get you, gonna get you, gonna get you)
Yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (Gonna get you, gonna get you, gonna get you)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, woo
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
