This is a redo of one from a while back. It came about after me saying to a friend that I would sell my soul to the devil if i could play guitar as well as they did !! So, a bit of a Robert Johnson thing going on here...As the saying goes.Be careful what you wish for:)
Please take a listen to the wonderful cover that Michael Hermiston did of this. As always he did me proud!

LYRICS
It was a sultry night down in old Creole
When the devil came to play
And he had that kind of boho style
That said I should look his way
And thunder roared and the rain steamed down
As he strummed on his guitar
He said, lady sing loud to my song..
And i'll make you a star

And he said burn, baby burn
Let the music take you in
I sang loud to the devil's song
Til I was filled with sin
He said Burn, baby burn
As he strummed on his guitar
I sold my soul to hell that night..
Just to be a star

And as the music filled the air.
The voodoo beat entranced
And the devil took me by the hand and said
Lady, would you care to dance
And he wrapped his arms around me and howled
Lady, you did just fine!
Now let us shake upon our deal..
So your soul will be mine
