The Devil Made Me Do It Rory Gallagher

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all

What did I do that was so bad
To go and get myself arrested?
Just hit town to have some fun
But I ended up in the trash can

There I was in the witness stand
My eyes turned towards the jury
Trying to recall what went wrong last night
But it won't come right back to me

Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it
The devil made me trip and fall
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all

The lawyer said, "Son, won't you plead the fifth
And don't speak unless requested"
Using all the words at his command
His skills were sorely tested

Then, to my complete surprise
They went and called a hostile witness
The devil himself, well he took the stand
And that's where my case rested
