1
Voice
Old Satan am a mighty fool,
Chorus-
Oh, yes, indeed, Oh, yes, indeed
Voice
He don't regard the golden rule,
Chorus-
You know that's just like him.
Voice
If you give him an inch he'll take an ell
Chorus
Oh, yes, indeed, Oh, yes, indeed
Voice
Then next the brimstone you will smell,
Chorus
So keep out of his way,

CHORUS:
Then you must shun old Satan,
Yes, indeed, Oh ! yes, indeed,
(Repeat)

Voice
When you are his, I do declare
Chorus
Oh, yes, indeed, Oh, yes, indeed.
Voice
To let you feel the cool fresh air
Chorus
You know that ain't like him.
Voice
Then through the keyhole he will shout,
Chorus
Oh, yes, indeed, O, yes, indeed,
Voice
"I've got you where you can't get out,"
Chorus
So keep out of his way.

CHORUS

Voice
And when he has you at his command,
Chorus
Oh, yes, indeed, Oh, yes, indeed,
Voice
He never will let go your hand,
Chorus
You know that's just like him.
Voice
For ev'ry day and ev'ry hour,
Chorus
Oh, yes, indeed, Oh, yes, indeed,
Voice
He's seeking someone to devour,
Chorus
So keep out of his way.

CHORUS
