Raise Hell

I've been down with a broken heart Since the day I learned to speak The devil gave me a crooked start When he gave me crooked feet But Gabriel done came to me And kissed me in my sleep And I'll be singing like an angel Until I'm six feet deep I found myself an omen and I tattooed on a sign I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line You have a mind to keep me quiet And although you can try Better men have hit their knees And bigger men have died I'm gonna raise, raise hell There's a story no one tells You gotta raise, raise hell Go on, now, ring that bell It came upon a lightning strike And eyes of bright clear blue I took that tie from around my neck And gave my heart to you I sent my love across the sea And though I didn't cry That voice will haunt my every dream Until the day I die I'm gonna raise, raise hell There's a story no one tells You gotta raise, raise hell Go on, now, ring that bell I dug a hole inside my heart To put you in your grave At this point it was you and me And mama didn't raise no slave You took my face in both your hands And looked me in the eye And I went down with such a force That in your grave I lay I'm gonna raise, raise hell There's a story no one's telling You gotta raise, raise hell Go on, now, ring that bell Go on, now, ring that bell Go on, now, ring that bell Go on, now, ring that bell
