Rory Gallagher Lyrics - The Devil Made Me Do It

The Devil Made Me Do It

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it,
The devil made me trip and fall.
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no chance at all.

What did I do that was so bad
To go and get myself arrested?
Just in town to have some fun
But I ended up in the trash can.
There I was in the witness stand,
My eyes turned towards the jury,
Trying to recall what went wrong last night
But it won't come right back to me.

Yeah, the devil made me do it, do it, do it,
The devil made me trip and fall.
Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no mind at all.

The lawyer said, "Son, won't you plead the fifth
And don't speak unless requested".
Using all the words at his command,
His skills were sorely tested.
Then, to my complete surprise,
They went and called a hostile witness;
The devil himself, well he took the stand
And that's where my case rested.

Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
The devil made me trip and fall.
Well, the demon drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no chance at all.

What did I do that was so bad
To go and get myself arrested?
Well, I was just in town to have some fun
But I ended up in the trash can.
There I was in the witness box,
My eyes turned towards the jury,
Trying to recall what went wrong last night
But it won't come back to me.

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it,
The devil made me trip and fall.
Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no mind at all.

The devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
The devil made me trip and fall.
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no chance at all.

Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
The devil made me trip and fall.
Well, the demon drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no chance at all,
Till I had no chance at all,
Till I had no mind at all.
