It's a long, long lane that has no turning 
And it's a fire that always keeps on burning 
Mister devil down below 
Pitchfork in his hand 
And that's where you are going to go 
Do you understand? 
Devil's gonna git you 
Devil's gonna git you 
Oh, the devil's gonna git you 
Man, just as sure as you's born 
Devil's gonna git you, 
Devil's gonna git you, 
Oh, the devil's gonna git you, 
The way you're carryin' on 
You go away, stay for weeks 
On your doggone spree 
Come back home, get in my bed 
And turn your back on me 
Oh the devil's gonna git you 
I mean the devil's gonna git you 
Man the devil's gonna git you 
Sure as you's born 
Dirty two-timer 
, dirty two-timer, 
Dirty two-timer, you ain't coming clean 
Oh the devil's gonna git you 
I mean the devil's gonna git you 
Oh the devil's gonna git you 
You know what I mean 
I don't want no two-time stuff 
From my regular man 
Don't want nothing that's been used 
'Cause it's second-hand 
The devil's gonna git you 
Oh the devil's gonna git you 
Man the devil's gonna git you 
Sure as you're born to die
