As Greil Marcus mentions in"Mystery Train" there's tons of satanic imagery in Robert Johnson: "Me and the Devil Blues", etc., and the Ole Enemy surfaces in any number of Stagger Lee variations (in one, he throws the devil out,"...gonna rule hell by myself". Bromberg does one where Stag gets to hell and says, "...I got to shoot somebody so goddamn bad--tell me where you keep Billy De Lyon?" (To which the Devil replies "You can't shoot Billy De Lyon no more--there ain't room for no more holes.")
A stray BS question for the nautical Catters: depending on who one reads, "Hell to pay" is a reference to tarring the very bottom timber of a ship while it's at sea, as in "Hell (or the devil) to pay and no pitch hot". True?
