When my mama told me
Son, don't tell no-one
Where you're going
Or where you come from
So two little black angels
Put that smile on your face
But inside you're hiding
Your fathers pain
Now I try, oh I try
Yes I try, oh I try
I try, Lord I try
Yes I try, yes I try 'cause I - wooh!
Good bye now - woh!
So my heart started beating
To the sound of the drums
Well the midnight howling
Starts when the morning comes
Saw my fathers eyes
They were as black as the night
And some five guns
Gone to wait now inside
Now I try, Lord I try
Yes I try, oh I try
Now I try, Lord I try
Oh, I try, yes I try 'cause - ahaa!
Trying one more time
Woohoo!
(Howling)
See, I'm the devil's son
Lord, don't tell no-one
See I'm the devils's son
Lord, don't tell no-one
Howling
I'm the devil's son
Lord, don't tell no-one
I'm the devil's son
Mama don't tell no-one
