Oil & Gold Lyrics

The devil's in the water now,
who's gonna save the day?
He's coming back to New Orleans,
and he's got hell to raise
He's painting all the water black and soaking up the sea
So help us please

Honey it's not alright,
the devil's in paradise, oh no
Who's gonna save our souls?
When you're gamblin with oil and gold.

Well I hope that he saves my soul
cus I dipped my feet in the holy water.
Gamblin oil and gold every step I take
it just keeps getting harder
Ohhhhhh

Well an old man took his fishing boat
and he tried to save the sea
He said he saw eleven ghosts,
so he gave his final plea
He said there's a God above
well, tell him we're in need
and help us please, oh no

Honey it's not alright,
the devil's in paradise, oh no
Who's gonna save our souls?
When you're gamblin with oil and gold.

Well I hope that he saves my soul
cus I dipped my feet in the holy water.
Gamblin with oil and gold every step I take
it just keeps getting harder
Ohhhhh

This is the pain we're living now
and I'm pushin it down
and I'm pushin it down
I only got one mother
I think I'll try to learn to love her.
ohhhhhhh ohhhhh

Well honey it's not alright
the devil's in paradise,
Who's gonna save our souls?
When your gamblin with oil

Well I hope that he saves my soul
cus I dipped my feet in the holy water.
Gamblin with oil and gold
every step I take it just keeps getting harder

Hope that he saves my soul
cus I dipped my feet in the holy water.
Gamblin with oil and gold
every step I take just keeps getting harder
harder, ohhh yeah
ohhhh yeah
Oh no no no
