lyrics

The hands of sin keep knock knock knockin' their knuckles upon my door
And the angel on my shoulder ain't gonna help me anymore
I was at my bedside prayin', singin', Jesus, help me, please!
Or this won't be the last time tonight that I get down on my knees

Oh Susannah, won't you cry for me?
The Devil ain't in Georgia, 'cause the Devil follows me
The Devil follows me

You don't need a crossroads if you're tryin' to sell your soul
Just booze and pills and a burnt-out man with a name you'll never know
I done let go of that gospel plow, Gabriel's trumpet done lost it's sound
So plow my fields and blow my horn when you lay my body down

Oh Susannah, won't you cry for me?
The Devil ain't in Georgia, 'cause the Devil follows me
Playin' on my heartstrings like a fiddle and a bow
Naw, the Devil ain't in Georgia, 'cause the Devil's in my soul
The Devil's in my soul

I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I thought I saw Susannah, dear, just a'comin' down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
Come home to Alabama, boy, or thou shall surely die!

Oh Susannah, won't you cry for me?
The Devil ain't in Georgia, 'cause the Devil follows me
Playin' on my heartstrings like I play this old guitar
Naw, the Devil ain't in Georgia, 'cause the Devil's in my heart

Oh Susannah, won't you cry for me?
The Devil ain't in Georgia, 'cause the Devil follows me
Playin' on my heartstrings like a banjo on his knee
Naw, the Devil ain't in Georgia, 'cause the Devil follows me
The Devil follows me
