about

A warning against revenge, retribution and/or reciprocated violence

lyrics

Shaking hands with the devil

Don’t go shaking hands with the devil
Don’t go making deals with that man
I tell you, he’s a thief and he’s a liar
He want to lock you up any way he can

You wake up every morning at the cross roads
You wake up with murder on your mind
But the road to revenge is paved with sorrow
Yeah an eye for an eye make the whole world blind

Mary, Mary, how does your garden grow?
My child that’s easy, we gone reap what we sow

Don’t go shaking hands with the devil
Don’t go making deals with that man
I tell you, he’s a thief and he’s a liar
He want to lock you up any way he can

Well you wake up every morning at the cross roads
You wake up with murder on your mind
But the road to revenge is paved with sorrow
Yeah an eye for an eye make the whole world blind

Mary, Mary, how does your garden grow?
My child that’s easy, we gone reap what we sown
Judas, Judas, what’s that silver in your hand
That’s no way to get to the promised land

So don’t go shaking hands with the devil
Don’t go making deals with the man
Don’t go shaking hands with the devil
Don’t go making deals with the man
Don’t go shaking hands with the devil
Don’t go making deals with the man
Don’t go shaking hands with the devil
