If the devil takes the hindmost, I’ll take your place in line
And if you’re near the end, I’ll give him a piece of my mind
The sheep are in the meadow and the cows are in the corn
If the devil comes to town, he’d better sharpen up his horns
Gonna be some trouble, if the devil wants his due
He’ll leave empty here handed, ‘cause I owe the world to you.
But whoever invented kissing deserves our gratitude
I’d like to say she could learn a thing or two from you
If the devil takes the hindmost, he better bring a friend
I’ve got my steel-toed boots, and I’ll kick his tail end in
When I first came to this country, I had no place to hide
Put that all behind me, now that you are by my side.
Every dog has its day, every day has its night
If the devil takes the hindmost, he’s in for a drag-down fight
I don’t fear a black cat or walking under ladders
Since I met you baby, none of that old stuff matters.
The Wind is blowing hard now, afraid the trees might crack
Been three years in this country and I’m never going back
When the devil comes around, he’s a cranky sort of guy
Let’s put the old boy to bed, and eat sweet rhubarb pie
If the devil takes the hindmost, I’ll take your place in line
If you’re near the end, I’ll give him a piece of my mind
I’m not afraid anymore
