Devil's Gonna' Git You Lyrics - Bessie Smith

It's a long, long lane that has no turning 

And it's a fire that always keeps on burning 

Mister devil down below 

Pitchfork in his hand 

And that's where you are going to go 

Do you understand? 

Devil's gonna git you 

Devil's gonna git you 

Oh, the devil's gonna git you 

Man, just as sure as you's born 

Devil's gonna git you, 

Devil's gonna git you, 

Oh, the devil's gonna git you, 

The way you're carryin' on 

You go away, stay for weeks 

On your doggone spree 

Come back home, get in my bed 

And turn your back on me 

Oh the devil's gonna git you 

I mean the devil's gonna git you 

Man the devil's gonna git you 

Sure as you's born 

Dirty two-timer, dirty two-timer, 

Dirty two-timer, you ain't coming clean 

Oh the devil's gonna git you 

I mean the devil's gonna git you 

Oh the devil's gonna git you 

You know what I mean 

I don't want no two-time stuff 

From my regular man 

Don't want nothing that's been used 

'Cause it's second-hand 

The devil's gonna git you 

Oh the devil's gonna git you 

Man the devil's gonna git you 

Sure as you're born to die
