THE DEVIL AND ME

The devil and me we don't agree,
Glory Hallelujah.
I hate him and he hates me.
Glory Hallelujah.

CHORUS
Sing hallelujah, shout hallelujah,
Glory hallelujah.
Sing hallelujah, shout hallelujah,
Glory hallelujah.

The devil is a sly old fox,
Glory hallelujah,
If I had him here I'd put him in a box,
Glory Hallelujah.

He had me once, but he let me go.
Glory Hallelujah.
He wants me again but I will not go.
Glory Hallelujah.

The publicans are crying out,
Glory Hallelujah,
Because the Army is going about.
Glory Hallelujah.

But still about we mean to go.
Glory Hallelujah,
And rout the devil and every foe,
Glory Hallelujah.

We'll sing and pray and we'll believe,
Glory Hallelujah.
And sinners shall the truth receive,
Glory Hallelujah.

Well preach the truth in every town,
Glory Hallelujah.
And pull the devil's kingdom down.
Glory Hallelujah.

My old companions fare you well,
Glory Hallelujah.
I will not go with you to hell.
Glory Hallelujah.

My happy comrades are so kind,
Glory Hallelujah.
I've left the world and the devil behind.
Glory Hallelujah.
