Up Jumped the Devil Songtext

von Izzy Stradlin

Well, I saw you sneaking
Round my neighborhood
I can tell by looking
You're just no good
Scarrier than hell
With your long black hair
When you walk along by
Make a blind man stare

Come into my house
My pig just squeal
Walk into my room

The wallpaper peel
Up jump the devil
When you come around
Soon as you leave
He go back in the ground

Devil's with the pig
And I spit in his eye
When I come around here
Then my cow went dry
My hens won't lay
And my ducks won't quack
Since you brought the devil
Round my chicken shack

Well, you and the devil
Make a terrible pair
Make me jump out
My long underwear
Devil was a laughing
But I ain't afraid
Set the place on fire
Put it out with a spade

Up jump the devil
When you come around
Soon as you leave
He go back in the ground
