Mama told me when I was a wee child She said "boy don't let me catch you out Runnin' wild" Burn-out for your time is due Darlin' it's bound to come back real good Dealin' with the devil Don't go dealin' with the devil Trying to make the most out of life Hello Satan Mama told me you'd call The cards are stacked My back's against the wall Well I don't wanna sell my soul But I'm sure we could arrange a loan Lord, I've been dealin' with the devil Dealin' with the devil Tryin' to make the most out of life And when the judgment comes I'll say whoa oh oh It's me And to your righteous sons I say glory Glory be Every word my mama told me was true I guess I've got to pay when the payment's due (yes I do) But he's the only man in town that swears He's gonna see me through I've been dealin' with the devil Lord, I've been dealin' with the devil Trying to make the most out of life
