Testo Deal With the Devil - Peter Rowan
Testo della canzone Deal With the Devil (Peter Rowan), tratta dall'album All On a Rising Day
As I was on my way back home
I came to a cross in the road
It was Halloween and the harvest moon
Shone down with an eerie glow
I'd been to see my own true love
She turned me from her door
She said her parents would never let
Her marry a boy so poor
I drew my dagger from my side
I pressed it to my heart
Determined I would take my life
When a voice called from the dark
And said, "Before you end it all
There's something you should know
I'll give you all your heart desires
In exchange for your soul
I'll give you a Porsche and a VCR
I'll give you every major credit card
I'll give you an illegal alien
To manicure your yard
But I've got other deals to make"
He turned on his heel to go
I said, "No, wait, let's make a deal"
And the stranger's eyes did glow
Many years had passed since then
I was a wealthy man
Sailing ships on the salt, salt sea
A house, fine cars, and land
One night a knock upon my door
Woke me from my sleep
The stranger stood there and he whispered low
"There's a promise you must keep
I gave you a Porsche and a VCR
I gave you every major credit card
I gave you twenty-five illegal aliens
To manicure your yard
I gave you all your heart desired
But it was just for show
You've taken more than you can give
Now give me what you owe"
I stand before you now, my friends
A poor but honest man
I sleep beside the road at night
By day I work the land
The treasure in my broken heart
It's worth the price I paid
You can't shake hands with the devil
And then just walk away
