Lyrics
MISTER BLACK found him down by the tracks / he called himself mister black / he dressed up in a suit that matched / had a cane and wore a hat / he said my name, it took me back / said, ?son, today's your lucky day? / and he explained, and told me that / had deal in mind he?d like to make / wanna make a deal with mister black? / "get along, play it nice" / he said, "you?ve heard it all before / they?re never wrong, they?ll tell you twice / that they don?t repeat things any more" / and mister black, looked at me / and said, ?tell me now what do you need / i can give anything / so stick with me and you?ll succeed / wanna make a deal with mister black?" / mister black, had a laugh / when I asked him what it?d take / told me i, would one day die / "until then, boy, you need not pay / pulled a pen from his coat / then he showed me where to sign / about then, before i wrote / saw flames beneath the dotted line / wanna make a deal with mister black? / mister black, i must decline / hell, i know it's such a steal / it?s only that, time after time / that good book don?t lose its appeal / and mister black went away / and i smelled sulfur in the wind / so i hope / and i pray / i won?t have to see him again / don?t wanna make a deal with mister black
