The Jersey Devil

I heard there was a Devil in these woods

A beast born of infidelity and flame

Who roams the barrens for someone to blame

I heard there was a Devil in these woods

A beast born of infidelity and flame

With wilted wings that only fly so far

And wounds so deep, but not a single scar

A beast born of infidelity and flame

With wilted wings that only fly so far

Alone, not by preference but by penance

A soul who lost all hope of eminence

With wilted wings that only fly so far

Alone, not by preference but by penance

I heard there was a Devil in these woods

Who was robbed of all his humanly goods

Alone, not by preference but by penance

I heard there was a Devil in these woods

A beast born of infidelity and flame

Who roams the barrens for someone to blame

I heard there was a Devil in these woods
