lyrics

Saw an old woman
Here's what she said to me
Saw an old woman
Here's what she said to me
Don't talk to that dragon
And keep your eye on the flea

Well I went down walking
Down by that old willow tree
Well I went down walking
Down by that old willow tree
Dug up that body
Finally set that old soul free

Well they took me to jail
Slept next to Old Man Jones
Yeah they took me to jail
Slept next to Old Man Jones
He said to me
"Wasn't for the Devil, we'd be alone."
