A Wiser Soul

I met Old Scratch
late one night,
At a crossroads in my life.
‘I’ll wager you’re a gamblin’ man,’
Crooned the Prince of Bogey Land.
At a crossroads in my life.
‘I’ll wager you’re a gamblin’ man,’
Crooned the Prince of Bogey Land.
'I feel your pain,
and resentment
Concerning all this discontentment.
Let me help - I've got a plan,
Just sign right here, my good man.'
Concerning all this discontentment.
Let me help - I've got a plan,
Just sign right here, my good man.'
The contract seemed
to be air tight,
As I viewed it in dim light,
FORTUNE, FAME, 'INDENTURED SERVICE,'
The final words made me nervous.
As I viewed it in dim light,
FORTUNE, FAME, 'INDENTURED SERVICE,'
The final words made me nervous.
'I think I'll pass, Old Scratch,' said I,
Creeping backward, by and by,
Knowing now which way to go,
Heading home a wiser soul.
