The farmer'd lost most all he had

He cursed his fate, wife and son
A C
Vowed to sell his soul for dollar one
E D A C
[Verse 2]
E D
In disbelief he'd uttered such words
A C
He'd hoped and prayed that no one had heard

With the smell of sulfur and a flash of light
A C
Appeared a demon in the dead of night
E D A C
[Verse 3]
F C G D
The plan was for the farmer to sign
F C G D
His name in blood upon the line
F C G
They'd meet again to seal the sign
F C G E D
In eighteen forty, in seven year's time
A C
Time!
[Chorus 1]
E D
The farmer prospered, did do well
A C
Good fortune was his story to tell
E D
Still he pursued the path he feared
A C
The time was short, the dark day neared
[Verse 4]
E D
The seven years had passed away
A C
Now it was the judgement day
E D
In memory of the words he said
A C
Lucifer appear in a flash of red
C
[Chorus 2]
F C G D
It's the day I said I'd come for you
F C G D
And now it's time to pay your due
F C G
I'm here to claim the soul I've won
F C E D
To seal the bargain and take your son!
A C
