Soul Song

As I sat cryin' by the river
 The devil take me by the hand
 The devil says to me
 He say "Boy, you gonna need some company"
 Cuz it's a lonely day
 It's gonna be a lonely day
 It's gonna be a lonely day
 It's gonna be a lonely day
 So I went walkin' by the river
 With the devil by my side
 I tell him I don't like my part
 The devil look at me, he say, "You better start
 Cuz nothin' and I do mean nothin' in this world is free"
 He say "Nothin' in this world is free
 So boy I think you better learn to walk with me"
 "Boy you better walk with me
 Don't you know you got to walk with me"
 The devil say "you better learn to walk with me"
 So I went walkin' through the river
 The devil, well he did good by me
 But as I reached the other shore
 The angels they stopped singin' Lord
 And it's gonna be a lonely day
 It's gonna be a lonely day
 It's gonna be a lonely day
 It's gonna be a lonely day
 As I lay dyin' by the river
 The devil he look down on me
 The devil say to me
 He say "Boy, you shoulda known nothin' come for free"
 And it's a lonely day
 I tell ya it's a lonely day
 It's lonely day
 Hey baby it's a lonely day
 Yeah it's a lonely day
 I heard the devil say
 "It's a lonely day"
