Mean Old Devil Got On

Yesterdays river is black and dry;
The mean old devil got on.
In blind alley I slept all night;
The mean old devil got on.
I said -
The mean old devil got on.
Well he'll come in feathers
And big sharp birls;
The mean old devil got on.
In some hard way he'll do you his;
The mean old devil got on.
Seventynine roses I had in mind;
The mean old devil got on.
He'll take everything he may find;
The mean old devil got on:
Mean old devil got on.
His hands will follow you down the reign;
Mean old devil got on.
I havn't had a dream since ten, or nine;
The mean old devil got on.
Mean Old Devil Got On.
