1
I met the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York.
2
He took a seat right beside me at the end of the bar.
3
He said I looked familiar, had we met sometime before?
4
Yeah, I drank with the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York.
5
And I confessed I hadn't prayed to God since nineteen-eighty-eight,
6
he said, " oh kid, you should try again you know, before it's too late."
7
I asked him where my soul would go if I just dropped dead today,
8
he smiled and said "Oh, you've got some good friends waiting for you at the gates."
9
Hallelujah! O', Hallelujah!
10
He said, "Just say the word and I'll give you fame and fancy whores,
11
or would you rather die a simple man,
12
just honest and poor?"
13
I said, "Well now I know who my real friends are and I can't ask for much more."
14
I thanked the Devil for my drinks and made my way for the door.
15
Hallelujah! O', Hallelujah!
