Devil Gets His Due

Well he sold out to the Devil
But he didn't get enough
Left his wife and baby
For a little old piece of fluff

Now he's crying
Learning how to sing the blues
Knows the Devil always gets his due

No matter how much whisky
There's a thirst he cannot slake
Desperation sleeping in his bed
While he stays up awake

Now the time time has just begun
Now you know it's true
You know the Devil always gets his due
Gets his due
Gets his due

You thought they were lying
Now you know it's true
Now your day is over
Ain't nothing left for you
You know the Devil always gets his due
Well 6 and 20 women
Praying for my soul
And though I rode the highway
And never paid the toll

They're saying hey, hey, Jose
And stealing in the spirit too
You know the Devil always gets his due
Gets his due
Gets his due

You thought they were lying
Now you know it's true
Now your day is over
Ain't nothing left for you
You know the Devil always gets his due
