When my mama told me: "Son, don't tell no-one Where you're going Or where you come from So two little black angels Put that smile on your face But inside you're hiding Your fathers pain" Now I try, oh I try Yes I try, oh I try I try, Lord I try Yes I try, yes I try 'cause I - wooh! Good bye now - woh! So my heart started beating To the sound of the drums Well the midnight howling Starts when the morning comes Saw my fathers eyes, They were as black as the night And some five guns Gone to wait now inside Now I try, Lord I try Yes I try, oh I try Now I try, Lord I try Oh, I try, yes I try 'cause - ahaa! ...trying one more time Woohoo! (Howling) See, I'm the devil's son Lord, don't tell no-one See I'm the devils's son Lord, don't tell no-one Howling x4 I'm the devil's son Lord, don't tell no-one I'm the devil's son Mama don't tell no-one
