Story behind the song
A different take on the famous meeting at the crossroads
Lyrics
Darkness, darkness – Sallow moon
Dead man’s carriage – Be comin’ soon
Six black horses – Breathin’ fire
Carry me – To my funeral pyre
Took my chances – Rolled the dice
Winnin’ came – At a heavy price
Terms and conditions – Don’t matter none
Can’t undo – The damage done
In and out of shadows – dodgin’ satan’s grip
Lord, don’t let me stumble – Don’t let me slip
Deal was made but I ain’t goin’ down without a fight
Dancin’ with the devil in the pale moonlight
If the devils’ drivin’ – Don’t take that ride
See him comin’ – Better run and hide
Ain’t no good – Gon’ come about
He’ll steal your soul – And turn you out
In and out of shadows – dodgin’ satan’s grip
Lord, don’t let me stumble – Don’t let me slip
Deal was made but I ain’t goin’ down without a fight
Dancin’ with the devil in the pale moonlight
