George Jones - The Devil Is Gathering Firewood lyrics

rate me

Oh, the devil has turned this big old world into a party place

The next year that you got a drink and a lover to embrace

Now you think he's being good to you but he's got his sneaky ways

And the devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days.

Oh, the race is on with Jesus to win every soul he can

We better get down on our knees and pray if we want to see the promise land

We better help Jesus to take the lead 'cause hell is a burning place

The devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days.

--- Instrumental ---

He's working every day and night to keep a steady fire

A honky tonkin' carnival with anything to ride

But if you'll stop ansd listen you'll hear his act at play

And the devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days.

Oh, the race is on with Jesus to win every soul that he can

We better get down on our knees and pray if we want tyo see the promise land

Better help Jesus take the lead cause hell is a burning place

The devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days.

Yes, the devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days...
