Well a note rang out in the middle of the night
Woke everybody up in a country mile
The milk jugs soured and the wells ran dry
The Devil smiled that southern smile
All the black cats stood up and packed their bags
And the crows flew off for to spread the news
Every mirror cracked and the roses died
The Devil strapped on his dancing shoes
As the sun came out so did the whole town
Wearing nothing at all or whatever they could find
Top hats, potato sacks, wedding gowns
They stood face to face in two long lines
Husbands faced husbands and wives faced wives
Everyone took a good look around
Someone asked “When?” and the Devil replied
“Any second now.”
Take your partner
By the hand or
Anywhere they like
To worship in the
Devil’s name we
Dance through day and night
Take your partner
By the hand or
Anywhere they like
To worship in the
Devil’s name we
Dance until we die
