Shut that door and keep that devil out
Shut that door and keep that devil out
You ain't got no business being around

Shut that door and keep that devil out
Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out


Here we go


I went down to Memphis
Memphis, Tennessee
Looking for some barbeque

With that devil chasing me

I ain't going down

Ain't no way I'm going down
He may got this world on a string
But he ain't getting me


Shut that door and keep that devil out
Shut that door and keep that devil out

You ain't got no business being around
Shut that door and keep that devil out
Tell all of your friends around this town

To shut that door and keep that devil out

Here we go


(Instrumental Break)


I went down to New Orleans
Wearing Sunday best
Searching for some Jesus

Found a devil in that blue dress
I ain't going down
Ain't no way I'm going down

He may got this world on a string
But he ain't getting me


Shut that door and keep that devil out
Shut that door and keep that devil out
You ain't got no business being around

Shut that door and keep that devil out
Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out


Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Shut that door and keep that devil out

Shut that door and keep that devil out
You ain't got no business being around
Shut that door and keep that devil out

Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out


Tell all of your friends around this town
To shut that door and keep that devil out
