Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you walk through the garden
You better watch your back
Well, I beg your pardon
Walk the straight and narrow track
[Verse 2]
If you walk with Jesus
He will save your soul
You gotta keep the Devil
Down in the hole
[Verse 3]
He's got the fire and the fury
At his command
Well, you don't have to worry
If you hold on to Jesus' hand
[Verse 4]
We'll all be safe from Satan
When the thunder rolls
You gotta keep the Devil
Way down in the hole
[Verse 5]
All the angels sing
About Jesus' mighty sword
And they shield you with their wings
Keep you close to the Lord
[Verse 6]
Don't pay heed to temptation
For his hands are so cold
You gotta keep the Devil
Way down in the hole
[Verse 7]
Way down in the hole
Way down in the hole
Way down in the hole
Way down in the hole
