Hell Hound Blues*

I made a deal,
A deal with the devil,
Sealed it with blood,
Now the immortal phoenix,
Will burn and never return.

My time has come,
I'm on the run,
Rain falling down like hail (hell),
There's A Hellhound on My Trail.

Break

The raven darts out at night,
Catches the early worm,
The hellhound is gonna get me,
He's gonna watch me squirm.

Break

The hell hound is a-comin',
He's a-comin' for me,
Two lumps,
Two lumps of sugar and he's gone,
Gone away,
Gone away till another day.

Break
The hell hound is a-comin',
He's a-comin' for me,
Two lumps,
Two lumps of sugar and he's gone,
Gone away,
Gone away till another day.



*I know it doesn't make the most sense in the world, but it is a blues poem/song so that doesn't really matter. It's more about how it sounds.
