I had a dream last night
Lord, it took me by surprise
A handsome man came a-courting me
With a sinful smile and yellow eyes

He said “Be my Jezebel
It’s been a lonely travel from the pits of Hell.
I’ve come to ask you if you’ll be mine
And be my lover til the end of time.”

I must say, I was flattered at first
‘cause men don’t make offers like this on Earth
But it’s a long way to travel to the other side
It’s a long time to burn when you’re the Devil’s bride

I said “There’s too many things that I’ve come to love
And I want to spend my life in the world above.
There’s too many things that I’ve got to do
That don’t include eternity with you.”

Down on his knees as if to plea
He lowered his head and said goodbye
He could no longer bare to be without me
And tears welled up in his yellow eyes

‘cause it’s the last train going down below
and I can hear that whistle sounding loud and low
The Devil wants to marry me
and be my lover eternally

I woke this morning consumed by grief
The loss had left me in disbelief
The devil wanted to marry me
But I have lost him for eternity

Letting him go, I won’t regret
And for this longing I will repent
