Forgive me, father, for I have seen
So much pain and suffering
Is there any hope for me?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Forgive me, father, for I am lost
In all the trouble I have caused
Now what will become of me?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I went down to the river
I went down, but the river was dry
Went down to the river
And when I closed my eyes

I saw a devil walking in the daylight
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I saw a devil, devil in the daylight
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And he sings hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to me

And he sings
Hallelujah
Oh, oh, woah
Hallelujah
And he sings
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to me
Hallelujah

I lay down 'til the morning
I lay down
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I lay down 'til the morning comes
To carry me away

See the devil dressed in white
Heaven fell a hundred times
Oh, the joy his sorrow brings

When he sings hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to me

Let him sing
Hallelujah
Oh, oh, woah, sing
Hallelujah
Let him sing
Hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah to me
Hallelujah

I saw the devil walking in the daylight
Hallelujah
And I saw the devil walking in the daylight
Hallelujah
I saw the devil walking in the daylight
But he didn't see me
Oh, he didn't see me
