Jesus Christ was born like me in a stable
|
His mom and dad did all that they were able
|
How did they know which way he'd turn
|
Didn't want to get their fingers burned
|
To take which path from right or wrong
|
He picked right and I picked wrong
|
|
I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
|
Remembering girls and the way they teased
|
Mama and papa saying this I tell
|
We loved you boy but you're going to hell
|
|
Roll the devil's dice - no second chance
|
Roll the devil's dice - I did the dead-man's dance
|
I did the dead-man's dance
|
|
Ever since nine I was juvenile
|
Stealing from pa - did petty crime
|
Officer said for me no hope
|
The only good thing for you's a rope
|
Left me danging high and dry
|
They picked my bones and the crows took flight
|
|
I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
|
Remembering girls and the way they teased
|
Mama and papa saying this I tell
|
We loved you boy but you're going to hell
|
|
Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast
|
Roll the devil's dice - and I got the six
|
Roll the devil's dice - all three of them
|
Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice
|
|
So here I am on judgement day with angels
|
The Lord Jesus is reckoning the tables
|
He said I know you, didn't take you long
|
Been bad down there, didn't string along
|
You know which way the righteous choose
|
Gonna swing you high from the reaper's noose
|
|
Roll the devil's dice - no second chance
|
Roll the devil's dice - I did the dead-man's dance
|
Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast
|
Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice
|
I did the dead-man's dance
