The rent came due one foggy morning,
The rent came due one foggy day.
The rent came due one foggy morning,
And the landlord said that I had to pay.
The rent came due one sunny morning,
The rent came due one sunny day.
The rent came due one sunny morning,
And the landlord said that I had to pay.
Well, here's the deal, you make a deal with the devil,
And you got to pay what the devil's due.
[REPEAT]
The rent came due one foggy morning,
The rent came due one foggy day.
The rent came due one foggy morning,
And the landlord said that I had to pay.
The rent came due one misty morning,
The rent came due one mistyday.
The rent came due one misty morning,
And the landlord said that I had to pay.
[Instrumental BRIDGE]
Well, here's the deal,
You only borrow your sins from the devil,
And you got to give 'em back some day.
Well, here's the deal,
You only borrow your sins from the devil,
And you got to give 'em back some day
...in person...face to face...at his place
...Think about that. (yowl!)
My sins came due one Easter morning,
My sins came due one Easter day.
My sins came due one Easter morning,
And the Savior said that I don't have to pay.
My sins came due one Easter morning,
My sins came due one Easter day.
My sins came due one Easter morning,
And the Savior said that He's already paid.
Well, here's the deal, you take the deal from the Savior
And the Savior will take the devil's dues away.
[REPEAT]
My sins came due one Sunday morning,
My sins came due one Sunday day.
My sins came due one Sunday morning,
And the Savior said that I don't have to pay.
My sins came due one Sunday morning,
My sins came due one Sunday day.
My sins came due one Sunday morning,
And the Savior said that He's already paid.
Well, here's the deal, you take the deal from the Savior
And the Savior will take the devil's dues away.
Well, here's the deal, you take the deal from the Savior
And the Savior will take the devil's dues away.
...in person...face to face...at His place
...He can do that!
My sins came due one Sunday morning,
My sins came due one Sunday day.
My sins came due one Sunday morning,
And the Savior said ... that I don't have to pay!
