Devil Came From Kansas

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
(intro) ( )(verse 1)The Devil came from KansasWhere he went to I can't sayThough I teach I'm not a preacherAnd I aim to stay that wayThere's a monkey riding on my backBeen there for some timeHe says he knows me very wellBut he's no friend of mine(chorus)I am not a humble pilgrimThere's no need to scrape and squeezeAnd don't beg for silver paperWhen I'm trying to sell you cheese(verse 2)The Devil came from KansasWhere he went to I can't sayIf you really are my brotherThen you better start to prayFor the sins of those departedAnd the ones about to goThere's a dark cloud just above usDon't scowl because I know(repeat chorus)(guitar solo) (3x)(drum fill)(verse 3)Though I never came from KansasDon't forget to thank the cookWhich reminds me of my dutyI was lost though now I lookFor the turning and the signpostAnd the road which takes you downTo that pool inside the forestIn whose waters I shall drown(repeat chorus)(coda)(guitar solo)(repeat to fade)
