Had a dream while sleeping, found myself way down below, my Lord I had a dream while sleeping, found myself way down below Couldn't get to Heaven, Hell's the place I had to go Devil had me cornered, stuck me with his old pitchfork Devil had me cornered, stuck me with his old pitchfork And he put me in an oven, thought he had me for roast pork Hellhounds start to chasin' me and I was a runnin' fool Hellhounds start to chase me and I was a runnin' fool My ankles caught on fire, couldn't keep my puppies cool Four thousand devils with big tails and sharp horns, my Lordy Saw a thousand devils with tails and sharp horns Everyone wandred (sic), tried to step on my corns For miles around I heard men scream and yell, my Lord For miles around, heard men scream and yell Couldn't see a woman, I said, "Lord, ain't this Hell?"
