<pre><font size='+2'>UP JUMPED THE DEVIL lyrics NICK CAVE</font><br>O My O My<br />
 What a wretched life<br />
 I was born on the day<br />
 That my poor mother died<br />
 I was cut from her belly<br />
 With a stanley knife<br />
 My daddy did a jig<br />
 With the drunk midwife <br />
 <br />
 Who`s that younder all in flames<br />
 Dragging behind him a sack of chains<br />
 Who`s that younder all in flames<br />
 Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim <br />
 <br />
 O poor heart<br />
 I was doomed from the start<br />
 Doomed to play<br />
 The villians part<br />
 I was the baddest Johnny<br />
 In the apple cart<br />
 My blood was blacker<br />
 Than the of a dead nun`s heart <br />
 <br />
 Who`s that milling on the courthouse steps<br />
 Nailing my face to the hitching fence<br />
 Who`s that milling on the courthouse steps<br />
 Up jumped the Devil and off he crept <br />
 <br />
 O no O no<br />
 Where could I go<br />
 With my hump of trouble<br />
 And my sack of woe<br />
 To the digs and deserts of Mexico<br />
 Where my neck was safe from the lynching rope <br />
 <br />
 Who`s that younder laughing at me<br />
 Like I was the brunt of some hilarity<br />
 Who`s that younder laughing at me<br />
 Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3 <br />
 <br />
 Ha-Ha Ha Ha<br />
 How lucky we were<br />
 We hit the cathouse<br />
 And sampled their whares<br />
 We got as drunk<br />
 As a couple of Czars<br />
 One night I spat out<br />
 My lucky stars <br />
 <br />
 Who`s that dancing on the jailhouse roof<br />
 Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof<br />
 Who`s that dancing on the jailhouse roof<br />
 Up jumped the Devil and said `Here is your man and I got a proof` <br />
 <br />
 O no don`t go O no<br />
 O slow down Joe<br />
 The righteous part<br />
 I straight as an arrow<br />
 Take a walk<br />
 And you`ll find it too narrow<br />
 Too narrow for the likes of me <br />
 <br />
 Who`s that hanging from the gallow tree<br />
 His eyes are hollow but he looks like me<br />
 Who`s that swinging from the gallow tree<br />
 Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me <br />
 <br />
 Down we go Down we go Down we go<br />
 The Devil and me Down we go down down down<br />
 Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go<br />
 To Eternity Down we go We go down down down<br />
 Down we go we go down down down<br />
 Down we go the Devil and me to Eternity<br />
 We go down down down down down ad inferno<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/up_jumped_the_devil_lyrics-nick_cave.html" target='_blank'>UP JUMPED THE DEVIL lyrics NICK CAVE</a></pre>

O My O My
What a wretched life
I was born on the day
That my poor mother died
I was cut from her belly
With a stanley knife
My daddy did a jig
With the drunk midwife

Who`s that younder all in flames
Dragging behind him a sack of chains
Who`s that younder all in flames
Up jumped the Devil and he staked his claim

O poor heart
I was doomed from the start
Doomed to play
The villians part
I was the baddest Johnny
In the apple cart
My blood was blacker
Than the of a dead nun`s heart

Who`s that milling on the courthouse steps
Nailing my face to the hitching fence
Who`s that milling on the courthouse steps
Up jumped the Devil and off he crept

O no O no
Where could I go
With my hump of trouble
And my sack of woe
To the digs and deserts of Mexico
Where my neck was safe from the lynching rope

Who`s that younder laughing at me
Like I was the brunt of some hilarity
Who`s that younder laughing at me
Up jumped the Devil 1, 2, 3

Ha-Ha Ha Ha
How lucky we were
We hit the cathouse
And sampled their whares
We got as drunk
As a couple of Czars
One night I spat out
My lucky stars

Who`s that dancing on the jailhouse roof
Stamping on the ramping with a cloven hoof
Who`s that dancing on the jailhouse roof
Up jumped the Devil and said `Here is your man and I got a proof`

O no don`t go O no
O slow down Joe
The righteous part
I straight as an arrow
Take a walk
And you`ll find it too narrow
Too narrow for the likes of me

Who`s that hanging from the gallow tree
His eyes are hollow but he looks like me
Who`s that swinging from the gallow tree
Up jumped the Devil and took my soul from me

Down we go Down we go Down we go
The Devil and me Down we go down down down
Hell fire and flames Down we go Down we go
To Eternity Down we go We go down down down
Down we go we go down down down
Down we go the Devil and me to Eternity
We go down down down down down ad inferno
