As I was walking in the big black woods
Hey ho, the big black woods
I met the evil devil and he offered me a ride

Hey ho, he offered me a ride
He said: "you look tired, let me carry you a while"
Hey ho on the devil's back

There's an evil, little !@$( hiding in his eye
Hey ho, of fire, flames and fryLord, I'm only human
I'm tired and I wanna go home

Let me ride on the devil's back,
But save my soul
Save my soul


The rain poured down from the grey sky above
Hey ho, the rain pissed down

But the devil he went hasty
And steady running fast
Hey ho, oh this could never last

And then he saw my home through
The branches and the leaves
Hey ho, lay hidden by the trees

Inside my darling loved one
And children oh so sweet
Hey ho, my children oh so sweet


Lord knows you're only human
You were tired and you wanted to go home

Pay me the soul of your one true love
Or you will never see your children again


Oh Lord knows you're only human
You were tired and you wanted to go home
Pay me the soul of your one true love

Or you will never see your children again
Save my soul!
