NEW ORLEANS DEVIL BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler
I thought I saw the devil
round a corner in New Orleans
I thought I saw TWO devils
round a corner in New Orleans
but when I followed after
I was swallowed up in laughter
round a corner in New Orleans
they said whatcha doin' brother?
they said whatcha doin' brother?
did you forget your mother?
__________________
thought I was seein' double
I knew I was in trouble
on a corner in New Orleans
I asked which one was Diablo ?
which one The Adversary ?
Lucifer ? Beelzebub ?
which one the Evil Fairy ?
which one was The Archfiend ?
which one was The Satan ?
which The Prince of Darkness ?
Mephistopheles ? I'm waitin' !
they stood there all confused
like they was contemplatin'
one took off his hat
the other tie he straightened
and said we're sorry mister
we must have been mistaken
you'll forget the whole damn thing
the moment you awaken
I thought I saw the devil
round a corner in New Orleans
I thought I saw TWO devils
round a corner in New Orleans
thought I was in trouble deep
but I was just asleep
in a cathouse cum bordello
in the French Quarter of New Orleans

Reads like from experience. This is classic New Orleans blues and you brought me the news.
Remind me of that of the TV show I've been watching… Preacher… Where Jesse the preacher goes to New Orleans looking for God who is missing. Along the way does come across the devil here and there. But when devils duplicate, that's a whole other story.
Tasked by his Goddess to find, relocate, and then quicken, the last three Heart Tree gem-seeds, Vanx the bard, and his motley crew of adventurers, set out to do just that.
