(intro) ()
(verse 1)
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can t say
Though I teach I m not a preacher
And I aim to stay that way
There s a monkey riding on my back
Been there for some time
He says he knows me very well
But he s no friend of mine
(chorus)
I am not a humble pilgrim
There s no need to scrape and squeeze
And don t beg for silver paper
When I m trying to sell you cheese
( )
(verse 2)
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can t say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There s a dark cloud just above us
Don t scowl because I know
(repeat chorus)
(guitar solo) (3x)
(drum fill)
(verse 3)
Though I never came from Kansas
Don t forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown
(repeat chorus)
(coda)
(guitar solo)
(repeat to fade)
