Written by Tom Waits



When you walk through the garden

you gotta watch your back

well I beg your pardon

walk the straight and narrow track

if you walk with Jesus

he's gonna save your soul

you gotta keep the devil

way down in the hole

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

we'll all be safe from Satan

when the thunder rolls

just gotta help me keep the devil

way down in the hole

All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword

and they'll shield you with their wings

and keep you close to the lord

don't pay heed to temptation

for his hands are so cold

you gotta help me keep the devil

way down in the hole
