Way Down In The Hole

Lyrics: Tom Waits
Music: Tom Waits

Sung by the Blind Boys of Alabama with Phil Lesh & Friends in May 2019 as part of "Dead Blues".

When you walk through the garden
You better watch your back
Well I beg your pardon
Walk the straight and narrow track
If you walking with Jesus
He'll save your soul
But you got to keep the devil
Down in the hole

He's got the fire and the fury
At his command
But you don't have to worry
If you hold on to Jesus hand
We'll all be safe from Satan
When the thunder rolls
But you got to keep the devil
Down in the hole

All the angels sing
About Jesus' mighty sword
And they'll shield you with their wings
And keep you close to the Lord
Don't pay heed to temptation
For his hands are cold
You got to keep the devil
Way down in the hole

Do you all like that
Do you all like that
Do you all like that
Do you all like that

You got to keep him in the hole
You got to keep him in the hole
Keep him in the hole
Down in the hole

I got to keep him in the hole
I got to keep him in the hole
Keep him in the hole
Way down in the hole
