As I was walking in the big black woods 
Hey ho, the big black woods 
I met the evil devil and he offered me a ride 
Hey ho, he offered me a ride 
He said: “you look tired, let me carry you a while” 
Hey ho on the devil’s back 
There’s an evil, little [bad word] hiding in his eye 
Hey ho, of fire, flames and fry 
 
Lord, I’m only human 
I’m tired and I wanna go home 
Let me ride on the devil’s back, 
but save my soul, Save my soul 
 
The rain poured down from the grey sky above 
Hey ho, the rain [bad word] down 
But the devil he went hasty and [bad word] fast 
Hey ho, oh this could never last 
And then he saw my home through the branches and the leaves 
Hey ho, lay hidden by the trees 
Inside my darling loved one and children oh so sweet 
Hey ho, my children oh so sweet 
 
Lord knows you’re only human 
You were tired and you wanted to go home 
Pay me the soul of your one [bad word] love 
or you will never see your children again 
 
Oh Lord knows you’re only human 
You were tired and you wanted to go home 
Pay me the soul of your one [bad word] love 
or you will never see your children again, Save my soul!
