------------------------------------------------------------------------ OLD DEVIL TIME (Pete Seeger)

Old devil time, I'm gonna fool you now/ Old devil time, you'd like to bring me down/ When I feel low, my lovers gather round/ And help me rise to fight you one more time/

Old devil pain, you've often pinned me down/ You thought I'd cry and beg you for the end/ At that very time my lovers gathered round/ And helped me rise to fight you one more time/

Old devil fear, you with your icy hands/ Old devil fear, you'd like to freeze me cold/ When I'm afraid, my lovers gather round/ And help me rise to fight you one more time/

Old devil hate, I knew you long ago/ Before I learned the poison in your breath/ Now when I hear your lies my lovers gather round/ And help me rise to fight you one more time/

No storm nor fire can ever beat us down/ No wind that blows but carries us further on/ And you who fear, oh lovers gather round/ And we will rise to sing it one more time
