Sawbones - Tom House

Devil say to the Doctor Say Sawbones Say old Sawbones

Say Sawbones Say old Sawbones

Devil say to the Doctor Say Sawbones cure my fever

Make my spirit whole

Doctor say to the Devil Say you leave me be

Why you play with me I’m a God-fearing man

Doctor say to the Devil I’m a God-fearing man you leave me be

You lowdown son of filth and misery

Devil say to the Doctor Say Sawbones Say old Sawbones

Say Sawbones Say old Sawbones

Devil say to the Doctor Goddamn your soul from this night on (and on and on)

I’ll break your will I’ll make you feel what I feel

The desire and the doubt and the doing without

The having it all and still wanting more

That day to day the slow decay

All your dreams and your life they’re slipping away

You’re reaching in the breach that sand beneath your feet

All before be gone you swore was divine

And in that moment of weakness you will be mine

Doctor say to the Devil my faith is strong

My faith is strong in the name of the Father

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Ghost I’m strong

I’m strong I’m strong I’m strong

I’ll stand up my faith show you just how wrong you can be

You sitting down there You fucking with me

I’ll show you how wrong I’ll show you you’ll see

Devil say to the Doctor say Sawbones old Sawbones

Sawbones old Sawbones

Devil say to the Doctor alright you win I’ll concede

But that’s just right now my friend later on I’ll feed that need

To you right out of my hand I’ll tell you now you sow you understand

You’ll be sucking that shit and crud right out of my hand

Devil say to the Doctor Say Sawbones Old Sawbones

Sawbones Old Sawbones

Devil Say to the Doctor Say Sawbones cure my fever

Make my spirit whole
