Chased Old Satan through the Door
From: Bill Dilloff’s camp at Clifftop 7.8.99. - from the Woodie Brothers
I met old Satan through the door, and I hit him on the head with a two by
four,
And I’m going to wear that starry crown, over there.
Chorus:
Over there, over there, I’m gonna wear that starry crown over there,
For I got no skillet and I got no lid,** and the ashcakes taste like
shortening bread,
And I’m gonna wear that starry crown, over there.
I met old Satan down the lane, and I hit him in the head with a walking cane,
And I’m gonna wear that starry crown, over there.
I chased old Satan round the stump, and I gave him a kick for every jump,
And I’m gonna wear that starry crown, over there.
I met old Satan through the door, and I hit him on the head with a two by
four,
And I’m going to wear that starry crown, over there.
