I've been down so low; bottom looked like up.
Once I thought that seconds saves was e-nough to fill my cup.
So I proffered all I got, but it ain't no way to live;
Being taken by the ones who got the least amount to give.

Verse 2
Once I met the Devil; he was mighty slick.
Tempted me with worldly goods, said; you can have your pick.
But when he laid that paper on me and he showed me where to sign;
I said thank you very kindly, but I'm in too great a need of mine.
