Satan Lyrics - Museum Of Appalachia Recordings - Diana Jones

Satan took me to the mountain, he took me by the hand 

showed to me the riches beneath us through the land 

and if I would but follow his lead in everything 

all earthly pleasures gathered up unto me he would bring 

Get thee behind me, do not show your face 

Get thee behind me, Satan leave this place 

Satan led me to the temple, he raised me there on high 

said if you be the son of God surely you can fly 

cast yourself into the air and call your angels down 

command their hands to bear you up from falling to the ground 

Get thee behind me, do not show your face 

Get thee behind me, Satan leave this place 

Forty days and forty nights my soul and body bare 

he came into the wilderness and found me hungry there 

bid your power o'er heaven and earth his serpent tongue did say 

and turn these cliffs of stone to bread and feast this very day 

Get thee behind me, do not show your face 

Get thee behind me, Satan leave this place 

Get thee behind me, do not show your face 

Get thee behind me, Satan leave this place
