Old Devil Time Pete Seeger, ©1970 Fall River Music, BMI

 

Old devil time, I’m gonna fool you now

Old devil time, you’d like to bring me down

When I feel low, my lovers gather ‘round

And help me rise to fight you one more time

 

Old devil fear, you with your icy hands

Old devil fear, you’d like to freeze me cold

When I’m afraid, my lovers gather ‘round

And help me rise to fight you one more time

 

Old devil hate, I knew you long ago

Before I learned the poison in your breath

Now when I hear your lies, my lovers gather ‘round

And help me rise to fight you one more time

 

No storm nor fire can ever beat us down

No wind that blows, but carries us further on

And you who fear, oh lovers gather ‘round

And we will rise to sing it one more time
