Sweet Satan Songtext / Lyric

It was back in the old days

In the time of my grief

When the ladies all disowned me

And my lungs could scarcely breathe



And the wildlife was growing wilder by the day

And I stuck to myself mostly



There was a band of brothers

Who rode unto me

Throwing accusations

I could rarely see



They put a hand upon me

And hung me upside down

And emptied out my pockets

And kicked me on the ground



They took out the hot poker

And branded on my chest

Twisted my ear off

Gasoline on my vest






Set me all a-flaming

Periled and defeated

Pelted me with stones

That felt like certain death



They went on to my lady

And made her kneel low

Tore all her hair loose

And cut through her clothes



Laughed and they hollered

And they painted the horses orange

Put the kids together

And tied them to the porch



Then blaze upon blaze

Did the devils rally 'round

With rifles and sticks

Did they pound on the ground



I rambled and I tumbled

And I fell to my feet

And I never knew the sweat of satan

Tasted so sweet
