Fair thee well to my father
Fair thee well to my mother
Fair thee well sisters, brothers
I beg they bury me an orphan
So when the pearly gates they open
They'll let me on through
And Ill be named one of Gods children once again
The Devil's running through our valley
The Devil's running through our valley
He's swimming in our precious waters
He dances in our moonlight
He wont stop till hes done
Till our family name's been taken to the grave
And he's sleeping with his gun and one eye open
Ive been searching for my father
Ive been searching for my mother
Ive been searching for my sisters
I've been searching for my brothers
But theyve been lost before I was born
I told still Im praying for their souls
So they can meet me in His castle in the sky
