Lyrics

I went to see the Gypsy woman
I told her all about my plan
I wanna see the bright lights
I want to be a bluesman
She said meet me at midnight
and do just what I say
You'll get your wish my son
But oh, they'll be hell to pay

The Gypsy told me she said Now your the best
Now you just play that guitar
and I'll take care of the rest

But the devil was waiting,
he had his pen right in his hand
He said, "Sign right here boy,
Now you're a real blues man."

Lord you gotta help me
I got those hellhounds on my trail
