I appreciate all of the kind comments about the last song that I posted
“Where the woman doesn’t die”
so I have decided to share with you all a sneak peak at the next song on
my list. I will post an audio file when it’s done but for now…here are the lyrics.
It’s fun to dance with the Devil
(Until you gotta pay the band)
Copyright 2022 Keith Brown
When I think back on my yesterday’s
and my wild and woolly, wicked ways
I’ve come to see I finally understand
What my daddy meant when he said to me
someday I hope that you will see
that it’s fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band
Chorus
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band
And your wild and woolly, wicked ways
are a gettin' outta hand
If you look right in the mirror
and you don't know where you stand
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band.
Well I was late for work on Monday
and the boss man gave me flak
He told me just to go back home
and don’t a bother comin’ back
‘cause he can’t use a man like me
he’s stood all he can stand
And I’ve been dancin’ with the Devil
and now I gotta pay the band
Chorus
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band
And your wild and woolly, wicked ways
are a gettin' outta hand
If you look right in the mirror
and you don't know where you stand
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band.
So I walked in to a bar room
just to have myself a think
And a jealous man didn’t like it much
when I bought his wife a drink
When I looked in to his angry eyes
from the floor where I did land
He said: “you’ve just danced with the Devil, son
and now you gotta pay the band”
Chorus
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band
And your wild and woolly, wicked ways
are a gettin' outta hand
If you look right in the mirror
and you don't know where you stand
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band.
Then I went to church on Sunday
just to see what I could see
And it turns out the ‘ol preacher man
was a talkin’ right to me
When he walked right down that aisle
and he took me by the hand and he said
“You’ve been dancin’ with the Devil son
and now you gotta pay the band.”
Chorus
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band
And your wild and woolly, wicked ways
are a gettin' outta hand
You gotta get right with your maker
You gotta have yourself a plan
'cause you've been dancin' with the Devil, son
and now you gotta pay the band.
Then he led me to the pulpit
and he laid his hands on me
and I felt the calm and warm embrace
of the Holy Trinity
The father, son and the holy ghost
they gave me what I needed most
Now I’ll be dancin’ with the angels
God shed his grace on thee…
Chorus
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band
And your wild and woolly, wicked ways
are a gettin' outta hand
If you look right in the mirror
and you don't know where you stand
Yeah, it's fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band.
Yeah , it’s fun to dance with the Devil
until you gotta pay the band.
