Diggin' for gold, in the rain
All they found, was a silver vein
While some did laugh, the others cried
If you wanna know the reason, here's the reason why
*
They sold their souls, for the Devil's gold
It's a doggone shame, so the story's told
You don't always get, what you want
When your dealin' with the Devil
You either do, or you don't
*
Diggin' for gold, none to take
All they found, was a grave mistake
When the lightnin' struck, it was so bazaar
They couldn't get away from the Devil, they didn't get very far
*
They sold their souls, for the Devil's gold
It's a doggone shame, so the story's told
You don't always get, what you want
When your dealin' with the Devil
You either do, or you don't
*
Diggin' for gold, in the mine
All they found, at the end was a sign
If your treasures aren't in heaven, you'll find them in hell
If you've read this sign, then all is not well
*
They sold their souls, for the Devil's gold
It's a doggone shame, so the story's told
You don't always get, what you want
When your dealin' with the Devil
You either do, or you don't
