I saw a light, i saw a light
It was the Devil holding an eveready light
I knew i was dying, believe me i wasnt' lying
It was old nick with a big stick
He said poet is that you i see in my eveready light
He said poet do you know what time it is
I said its' midnight old nick
Could you refrain from thrashing me with that big stick
I said please old Devil im' not ready
Even though you caught me in the light from your eveready
He said poet you saw my light, you saw my light
You saw my light in the middle of the night
He said you have been drinking all day
And i just know your ready
One good clout with this big stick
Caught in the light of my eveready
And you are on your way to hell
Where there is no drinking and singing
It was then that i woke under a burning light
The sun was up and it was the end of the night
I saw the light, i saw the light
I saw the Devil in the middle of the night
I saw the light, i saw the light
