Devil in the Middle (feat. Dave Alvin)
Anne McCue

Did you ever break your back

Just to live out in a shack?

Hideehi


The wind is hot, the sun is cruel

You're the wagon and the mule

Hideehi, Hideehi


You're dead upon your feet

Gonna pass out from the heat

Hideehi, Hideehi


The boss is counting out his money

And he seems to think it's funny

Hideehi, Hideehi


Mama eats cake

Daddy eats crow

The Devil eats the taters

Till there ain't no more

Grab him by the horns

Pull him by the tail

Poke him in the eye

Just to hear him wail

Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi


The preacher's drunk on altar wine

Says he's waiting for a sign

Hideehi, Hideehi


The choir is out of tune

Hear them howlin' at the moon

Hideehi, Hideehi


There's a rumble and a roar

Someone's beatin' down the door

Hideehi, Hideehi


Better get yourself together


'Cause we're in for stormy weather

Hideehi, Hideehi


Mama don't rock

Daddy don't roll

The Devil's in the middle

And he wants your soul

Grab him by the horns

Pull him by the tail

Poke him in the eye

Just to hear him wail

Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi


Click clack clickety clack

Train's a comin' down the track, uh huh

Fi fi fo fum

Lookin' sharp, here he comes

Somebody strike up the band!


The judge is choking down his gin

And the jury's joining in

Hideehi, Hideehi

When the foreman starts to dance

You know you haven't got a chance

Hideehi, Hideehi


Mama don't fish

Daddy don't sew

The Devil don't pray

And the cotton don't grow

Grab him by the horns

Pull him by the tail

Poke him in the eye

Just to hear him wail

Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi, Hideehi!
