Surely goodness and mercy
will follow you all the days
Of your life amen.
Looking at a mirror to hear
The good Lord speak, like footsteps;
You hear the rustle and for all you care
For all you care it might be him
Or the devil in a casual stroll.
The devil in a casual stroll.
Muffle a prayer, Friend
say a prayer for yourself
Clench your fists and pray
Muffle your voice and pray
Pray that the devil, in his casual stroll
Sees a purple rose and stoops.
The devil sees a purple rose,
and stoops to smell.
He stoops to smell.
