  • When you walk through the garden
    You gotta watch your back
    Well, I beg your pardon
    Walk the straight and narrow track
    If you walk with Jesus
    He's gonna save your soul
    You gotta keep the devil
    Way down in the hole

    He's got the fire and the fury
    At his command
    Well, you don't have to worry
    If you hold on to Jesus' hand
    We'll all be safe from Satan
    When the thunder rolls
    We just gotta help me keep the devil
    Way down in the hole

    All the angels sing
    About Jesus' mighty sword
    And they'll shield you with their wings
    And keep you close to the lord
    Don't pay heed to temptation
    For his hands are so cold
    You gotta help me keep the devil
    Way down in the hole

    Down in the hole, down in the hole
    Down in the hole, down in the hole
    Down in the hole, down in the hole
    You gotta help me keep the devil
    Down in the hole Writer/s: THOMAS ALAN WAITS

  • Richard P from MaEveryone's grandmother was hot for Englebert Humperdinck at the time.
  • Diego from Spain"Garden" in literature means a brothel or a woman's pubic hair. "Putting the devil way down in the hole" then takes on a very different meaning. "Putting the devil in hell" is a way of referring to the sexual act where the devil is the male sexual member and hell is the vagina. All of these are apparently dignified ways of addressing the public to attract them in a context in which prostitution is prohibited or that is markedly puritanical.
