[Verse 1]
Woke up this evenin' with the devil in my bed
Jesus  at the back door and nothin' in my hell
Well  I do my best but I just don't understand
Tell me all about it if you can

[Verse 2]
Well I fell in love with a woman of the night
Just  a hard-working gal from Tennessee
Now  I only get to see my babe when I been ridin' high
Go and call the doctor before I die, yeah boy

[Chorus]
When  I get high
Baby, I get low
When I come down, down, down
Wish I was stoned, oh now Lord

[Verse 3]
Give  me a whiskey when I'm sober
Give me a water when I'm dry
Give me reefer when I'm sickly
Give me a love before I cry
Well I'm on my way to them blue, blue skies
Take me up to heaven when I die, yeah boy
[Verse 1]
Well I woke up this evenin' with the devil in my bed
Jesus at the back door and nothin' in my hell
Well I do my best but I just don't understand
Tell me all about it if you can
Go on tell me all about it if you can
