Run, devil, run, the angels havin' fun
Makin' winners out of sinners, better leave before it's done
When he gets through, he'll be comin' after you
Listen to what I'm sayin' to you
Run, run, devil, run
Black woman, Alabama, and the cold and the death
Sittin' greeted by the light of a gasoline lamp
Lives a holy ruler with a mission on her mind
Got to spread the word to anybody she can find
You could hear her screamin' any time of night or day
This is what she said to keep the demons away
Run, devil, run, the angels havin' fun
Makin' winners out of sinners, better leave before it's done
When he gets through, he'll be comin' after you
Listen to what I'm sayin' to you
Run, run, devil, run
A brother and a sister catch the G-man down
Sippin' on the blood, sippin' head and foot down
Love is not a drink, it's a gun to a fight
The sheriff is a good one, gonna get out for a night
When the holy ruler seems about to fail to fail
This is what she said to keep her leavin' the jail
Run, devil, run, the angels havin' fun
Makin' winners out of sinners, better leave before it's done
When he gets through, he'll be comin' after you
Listen to what I'm sayin' to you
Run, run, devil, run
Run, run, devil, run
When the clouds in the middle of the summer they were back
And the cats taking out and pouring it and keeping on the right track
Faces in the lake are trying to spread the good news
See if you got the news of where the angels are blue
All the jailers tell the says they're living the good
Man, you need a director, man, I'm out of words
Run, devil, run, ain't even having fun
Making winners out of sinners, better leave me more than done
When it gets through, it'll be moving after you
Listen what I'm saying to your heart
Run, devil, run
Oh, you better run
Run, devil, run
You better run
Run, devil, run
Run, devil, run
