Devil Came From Kansas

(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)
