| If you should walk out in the morning |
| To fetch your water from the well |
| Good people please beware |
| Little children do take care |
| Watch out for the devil’s interval |
| When strumming through the woods in springtime |
| When evening blackbirds coo and caw |
| Such sounds of joy and sadness |
| May hide the prince of darkness |
| Beware the devil’s interval |
| Beware the devil’s interval |
| The kettle whistlin' in the kitchen |
| The chiming clock that’s in the hall |
| Should they sound e flat to a |
| Then lucifer is on his way |
| Here comes the devil’s interval |
| Here comes the devil’s interval |
| Don’t take your loved one to the dance hall |
| Lest music drag you down to hell |
| Pay no mind to songs like these |
| For I may be Mephistopheles |
| Singing the devil’s interval |
| Singing the devil’s interval |
| Aaahaa… Aahaa… Aahaa… Aaah |
