Lyrics
Can't you hear it whistle down the wire?
Can't you hear it whistle down the wire?
All God's children gone crazy with desire
Holy man says, "You got hell to pay"
Holy man says, "You got hell to pay"
But I'll find my baby down there anyway
Gonna search the city when the lights are low
Gonna search the city when the lights are low
Oh, I'll prowl all night 'til there's no place left to go, yeah
I might get down in a backstreet bar
A toothless hag on a slack guitar
Alligators crawl around in the dark
But this town's gonna go up
It just needs a spark
Oh, bury my black heart in the deepest hole
Won't you bury my black heart in the deepest hole?
Crying, "Lord, have mercy on my wicked soul"
Forgive me, sister, for my many sins
Forgive me, sister, for my many sins
All the world is a-weeping while the devil grins
All the world is a-weeping while the devil grins
All the world is a-weeping while the devil grins
