Between the devil and the deep blue sea Everywhere I turn it's got a hold on me Between the devil and the deep blue sea Everywhere I run it won't let me be Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea Between the devil and the deep blue sea Can somebody somebody somebody help me please Between the thunder and the driving rain Could I ever be, be the same again Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea Holding on Waiting for some good luck to come Come my way, set me free It's that old boy himself and he always knew Sooner or later If you don't say what's true you'll end in chains And you'll always be Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
