lyrics

Sell To The Devil

(Chorus)
You can either sell your soul to the devil or keep giving your soul to the Lord
When everybody's old and brittle ain't nobody gonna be in the middle
You can either sell to the devil or keep giving your soul to the Lord

I walked that great valley with my friends loving evil
and when I climbed that mountain they fell behind
I wanted them to see clearly me climbing to the heavens
and see who would follow
and here's what I did find

I found Purgatory Johnny halfway up the mountain
his legs were soft and twisted and he couldn't climb
I took him over my shoulder and carried him two mornings
and by the evenings he'd be crying and we'd sing this song of mine

(Chorus)

Purgatory Johnny became a saint when he told me
I'd get a special mention if we ever reached the sky
he said his love would follow me like a memory of goodness
right until the judgement when the clouds were by our side

and we walked day and night until the clouds came around us
we could not see above us and we couldn't see below
Johnny told me "Danny, don't you sell your soul to the devil and go back down those green troubled valleys alone"

(Chorus)
