Between the devil and the deep blue sea   Everywhere I turn it's got a hold on me   Between the devil and the deep blue sea   Everywhere I run it won't let me be   Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea   Between the devil and the deep blue sea   Can somebody somebody somebody help me please   Between the thunder and the driving rain   Could I ever be, be the same again   Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea      Holding on   Waiting for some good luck to come   Come my way, set me free      It's that old boy himself and he always knew   Sooner or later   If you don't say what's true you'll end in chains   And you'll always be   Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
