[Piano Solo]
(oooohhh oooo)
[Verse 1]
Mama told me when I was a wee child
She said 'boy don't let me catch you out
Runnin' wild'
Burn-out for your time is due
Darlin' it's bound to come back real good
[Chorus]
Dealin' with the devil
Don't go dealin' with the devil
Trying to make the most out of life
[Verse 2]
Hello Satan
Mama told me you'd call
The cards are stacked
My back's against the wall
Well I don't wanna sell my soul
But I'm sure we could arrange a loan
[Chorus]
Lord, I've been dealin' with the devil
Dealin' with the devil
Tryin' to make the most out of life
[Verse 3]
And when the judgement comes
I'll say whoa oh oh
It's me
And to your righteous sons
I say glory
Glory be
Every word my mama told me was true
I guess I've got to pay when the payment's due (yes I do)
But he's the only man in town that swears
He's gonna see me through
[Chorus]
I've been dealin' with the devil
Lord, I've been dealin' with the devil
Trying to make the most out of life
