Hoyt Axton / The Devil (LP Version, 1971)

"The devil deals in dyin' and he travels in a hearse

He treats you like a dog, now; he'd like to treat you worse

But he don't have the answers, an' if he did, he'd lie

The devil is a joker an' he don't want you alive"

"And the devil, he's in trouble; I can see it in his eyes

If you don't give him shelter, he won't have no place to hide"

Ah, Hoyt Axton and his devilish tune. It's a catchy one, isn't it? The lyrics are quite thought-provoking too. But let's be honest, dealing with the devil doesn't sound like a barrel of laughs. I prefer dealing with puns and punchlines rather than dealing with souls and eternal damnation. But hey, to each their own!
