Chorus:
Shut de do, keep out de devil
Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.
Shut de do, keep out de devil
Light de candle, everything is alright
Light de candle, everything is alright
Oh when I was a baby child (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
Good and bad was just a game (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Many years and many trials, (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
They proved to me they’re not the same (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Repeat Chorus
Oh, Satan is an evil charmer (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
He’s hungry for a soul to hurt (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
And without your holy armor (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
He will eat you for dessert! (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Repeat Chorus
Well heh, hey, hey, hey, shut de do
Hey, hey, hey, shut de do
Hey, hey, you better shut de do
Say a prayer, he won’t be here back no more.
My mama used to sing this song (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
Papa used to sing it too (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Jesus came and called them home (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
And so I sing this song for you (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
You know you light de candle, everything is alright
You know you light de candle, everything is alright
