The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
I've been down, deep Texas, Mississippi state
Hoping things might go my way
For every hard earned dollar I make
There stands a white man just to take it away
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear
I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye
I hope he's going to break these chains
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
Another hard day, no water no rest
I saw my chance, so I got him at last
I took his six-shooter, put two in his chest
He'll never say a word no more, oh, he'll never say a word no more
The devil got him good for sure
(Ain't got no place to call a home)
(Only chains and broken bones)
(Ain't got no place to call a home)
(So come on lord, won't you take me now)
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on lord, what you waiting for
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's going to make me a free man)
Only chains and broken bones (the devil's going to set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's going to make me a free man)
So come on lord, won't you take me now (the devil's going to set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's going to make me a free man)
Only chains and broken bones (the devil's going to set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home (the devil's going to make me a free man)
So come on Lord, what you waiting for (the devil's going to set me free)
