Mean Old Devil Got On

Yesterday's river is black and dry

Mean old devil got on

In a blind alley I slept all night

Mean old devil got on

Mean old devil got on

Satin and roses I had in mind

Mean old devil got on

He'll take everything he may find

Mean old devil got on

Mean old devil got on

He'll come in feathers and a big sharp bill

Mean old devil got on

In some hard way he'll do you ill

Mean old devil got on

The mean old devil got on, yeah

His eyes will follow you down the lane

Mean old devil got on

I haven't had a drink since ten or nine

Mean old devil got on

Mean old devil got on
