Текст (слова) песни: Black Oak Arkansas - Uncle Lijiah
CHORUS
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah He`s still alive Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah A hundred and five
There was a time early in life When he gambled to gain And he carried a knife And he was winnin` that very night He cussed the devil, yes he cussed him good He swore he`d lick `em Yes he swore he could And he dared him to come to Him if he would Yeah CHORUS
It was early in the mornin` When he got to bed To rest his weary gamblin` head When he heard the angry words His pappy said "Lijiah go and fetch some wood!" He heard his words And up he stood Even tho it hurt he knew he should
CHORUS
Outside he heard the rattle of chains And he ran from someone He thought insane As he heard the devil Callin` out his name The devil grabbed his suspenders well And he trembled As he felt the hand from hell And he let out with a hairy yell
He jumped in bed with his Maw and Paw And he told `em that The devil was in Arkansas And he told `em he`d Quit gamblin` Or break the law
