lyrics

Call me a friend of the devil
spose’ its fine by me
robbed some trains back in my day
and son it was a sight to see

hear that bell a tolling
calling out my name

never cared much for whiskey
couldn’t stand much gin
had a wife back in Reno
but she don’t know the shape I’m in
Won’t you spare me your vanity
spare me your sermons too
‘cause I’m about to have the devil’s own day
and I think I’m gonna start with you

Hear that bell a tolling
calling out my name

Now I am old and frail now
one thing before I go
go down there and you tell her
that I am six feet below
