If the Devil comes to meet you Along some dirty track Be sure to take my baby Riding on your back For the Devil takes little babies And buries them in the ground So best if my little baby Is never, ever found For the Devil took those rivers And drowned an Angel's wing He broke you down now you quiver Beneath his dirty hand And if he finds you hiding He will surely know You've given him your baby He will not let you go If the Devil comes to meet you Along some dirty track Be sure to take my baby Riding on your bike For the Devil takes little babies And buries them in the ground So best if my little baby Is never, ever found
