Let Me Go Devil Songtext

von Tex Ritter

Oh! Let me go, let me go, let me go, devil.
Stay away, stay away, from my soul!
I got so low, got so low, yes so low, devil.
I let you, evil you, get control!

First the gamblin', then the cheatin',
Then the bottles of rye.
Got the habit, had to have it, or die'
I lost m' pride, lost m' friends, it's the end, devil.
Let me go, let me go, let me go!"

(Instrumental)

I'm gonna fight, gonna fight, with my might, devil!
I gotta win over sin if I can.
I've been a fool, yes a fool, just your tool, devil.
A disgrace to the race of man!

Quitin' gamblin, quitin' cheatin'
And the bottles of rye.
Gonna do it, gotta do it or die,
I'm gonna pray, pray my way, through the day, devil
So you may, just as well let me go...
