Verse 2

The Devil came from Kansas

Where he went to I can't say

If you really are my brother

Then you better start to pray

For the sins of those departed

And the ones about to go

There's a dark cloud just above us

Don't scowl because I know

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3

Though I never came from Kansas

Don't forget to thank the cook

Which reminds me of my duty

I was lost though now I look

For the turning and the signpost

And the road which takes you down

To that pool inside the forest

In whose waters I shall drown

[repeat chorus]
