Verse 1
Gras day the Tennessee kid
Of his own worst fears
Em
E
No corporeal beast he could name
E
Em
And charged him submit
Forthwith to atone
At the crossroads
Celebrated in song
E
Em
E
Come on

E
Em
E
Em
In the middle of the thoroughfare
"Who dares to utter my
most secret name?"
Steadfast he rejoined the enemy in kind
By any other name you ain't nothin'
E
Em
Then he girded his loins for the
Ensuing onslaught
But the devil only shrugged
and the kid

Hey hey hey hey

The balance comes due someday
minute cried the kid
From the cumberland
You never mention nothin'
E
Em
Just said - sign here - it's just a soul -
You'll never miss it
I ain't set foot in a church
since I was just
By the highway
No matter how long and how hard
That I prayed
A
E
So I might as well learn how to make

Mississippi moon
Behold behemoth the trampler
Of infidels,
E
Em
He who sweeps away nations
D
Em
With a flick of his tail
Theopolis, Agrrippa, Faustus, Paganini
E
Em
Question not the ironclad bond
Of my surety
Set down here in blood
On the list where his mark
Was indeed clearly inscribed
But it was too late to pray
Em
E
And with his very last breath he did say
E
Em
Hey hey hey hey
