I was walkin' with a woman I was walkin' down the road When the devil did approach me With a pocket full of gold He said, my little darling Let me take you to the promise land And i said, “oh no devil. Just leave me where I stand” Cause I was thinking about drinking with my old man, Uncle Sam
So please don't tempt with that devil, whisky Just leave me where I am When you were alive Dont tell it, don't tell it. oh how it steals Have you been away? or twisting to find me? You've been fooling them all Just to wait until I die Leave me
