Keep The Devil Back In His Room

There’s twelve snakes in the hollow
Guess what they’d say
There’s twelve snakes in the hollow
Guess what they’d say
Twelve snakes in the hollow
Getting fat on sin
Twelve snakes in the hollow
Can’t fit no more in

Devil hired a woman
To give me kids
Devil hired a woman
What do you think they did
Devil hired a woman
To give me kids
Devil hired a woman
You know the lord forbid

Judas kept on walking
Till he got into the fire
Judas kept on walking
You’d think he’d retire
Judas kept on walking
Kept this kids in the room
Judas kept on walking
Spread’em with a butcher’s broom

Chorus:
Got to slip the ash back in the tomb
Keep the devil back in his room
Got to keep the devil back in his room
