Those Poor Bastards Satan Is Dead Lyrics

Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said
Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said

Custer cut him down in old Arkansas
Beneath the full moon near Navajo Pass
He roped 'im and he choked 'im and he hanged 'im so high
The angels in heaven they started to cry

Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said
Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said

Thirteen black witches and virgins so fair
The cold stench of sulfur thick in the air
A serpent of gold and the guts of a child
Slaughtered then fed to the beasts of the wild

Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said
Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said

Never again hear his moans at night
Never again see Lucifer's Light
All are now free from the pleasure of sin
I done said it once but I'll say it again

Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said
Satan is dead Satan is dead
That's what the telegram said said said
