Raising the Devil

Raising the Devil

The Devil take you, they said to John Dee,
Between the Devil, and the deep blue sea.
Awd Scrat the Devil, looks after his own,
If you raise him, better the Devil known.

Talk of the Devil, he's sure to appear,
The Devil is in the detail, I fear.
In league with the Devil, said men of power,
With luck of the Devil, he left the tower.

Devil made me do it! was he mislead?
Have the Devil to pay, in guise of red.
Between the Devil, and the deep blue sea,
What the Devil was, to become of Dee.

You can go to the Devil, for what you knew,
Sell your soul to the Devil, and pay your due.
Don't speak of the Devil, unless you dare,
Devil in disguise, and Devil may care.

Give the Devil his due, bow your head low,
Play Devil's advocate, reap what you sow.
They said Devil take you, and burn in Hell,
But he shamed the Devil, and broke their spell.
