Devil in the Middle (feat. Dave Alvin)
Did you ever break your back Just to live out in a shack? Hideehi
The wind is hot, the sun is cruel You're the wagon and the mule Hideehi, Hideehi
You're dead upon your feet Gonna pass out from the heat Hideehi, Hideehi
The boss is counting out his money And he seems to think it's funny Hideehi, Hideehi
Mama eats cake Daddy eats crow The Devil eats the taters Till there ain't no more Grab him by the horns Pull him by the tail Poke him in the eye Just to hear him wail Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi
The preacher's drunk on altar wine Says he's waiting for a sign Hideehi, Hideehi
The choir is out of tune Hear them howlin' at the moon Hideehi, Hideehi
There's a rumble and a roar Someone's beatin' down the door Hideehi, Hideehi
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Better get yourself together 'Cause we're in for stormy weather Hideehi, Hideehi
Mama don't rock Daddy don't roll The Devil's in the middle And he wants your soul Grab him by the horns Pull him by the tail Poke him in the eye Just to hear him wail Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi
Click clack clickety clack Train's a comin' down the track, uh huh Fi fi fo fum Lookin' sharp, here he comes Somebody strike up the band!
The judge is choking down his gin And the jury's joining in Hideehi, Hideehi When the foreman starts to dance You know you haven't got a chance Hideehi, Hideehi
Mama don't fish Daddy don't sew The Devil don't pray And the cotton don't grow Grab him by the horns Pull him by the tail Poke him in the eye Just to hear him wail Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi!
