Early this morning when you knocked on my door, you said

Walking around lost in a dark night 

I found the way out of my suffering 

It was not me, it was a young man 

With big black eyes, smoke in a gold pipe 

He was staring at me 

Then suddenly he called my name  

He’s got that shiny smile 

Then he said “Hi there, friend!” 

Oh oh oh I shook the Devil’s hand 

No oh oh oh I shook the Devil’s hand 

His laughter left me feeling petrified 

When I saw cunning sparks lightning his evil eyes 

When I started feeling cold I realized something was wrong 

My brain was dead and I was under his spell 

I was in for the game without even pretending it 

I signed my eternal death 

When I shook his hand 

Oh oh oh I shook the Devil’s hand 

No oh oh oh I shook the Devil’s hand

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah 

Ah ah ah ah ha ha ha ha 

Ha ha ha ha

I shook the Devil’s hand

Maybe I am under his spell 

‘Cause I shook the Devil’s hand
