ahhhhh 
Who will cast the first stone? 
Who will send me back home? 
Sin is eating up my bones 
I'm walkin with the Devil 

This world is so evil 
lord, lord, lord 

Down there in old Arkansas 
They'll hang a man before his trial 
Beat him down and string him up 
Just to watch him suffer 

I knew a man from 'round those parts 
He had a kind of nervous heart 
Some friends of mine tore him apart 
I think he was my father 

Well, well, wella 
Satan is watching as you walk down the road 
Satan is watching as you sleep 

All I wants deliverance 
Free me from this terrible mess 
Lord, if you're hearin' this 
Give my spirit shelter 

Send some lightning from the clouds 
Get me off this dead-end road 
I will do just as I'm told 
Burn me to a cinder 

Take my soul up to the sky 
Like a vulture I will fly 
To this world I say goodbye 
Hello, Holy Savior!
