The Devil Has Thrown Him Down

Lyrics
[Verse 1] When the pilgrim heard the gospel preach, he left his friends in the town That beautiful city, he tried to reach, but the Devil just throwed him down [Chorus] Oh, the Devil has thrown him down The Devil has thrown him down Told him plainly to his face, "You never shall wear the crown" [Verse 2] When Jesus appeared on the mountain tops, his [?] white as snow The [?] down in the valley stopped and they did no further go [Chorus] Oh, the Devil has thrown him down Oh, the Devil has thrown him down Told him plainly to his facе, "You never shall wear thе crown" [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Oh, a travelin' father brought his little son and he cries to make him sound And as he call him, the work begun, the Devil has thrown him down [Chorus] Oh, the Devil just throwed him down Ooh, the Devil just throwed him down Told him plainly to his face, "You never shall wear the crown" [Verse 4] Those who used to be members of the Church, now scattered all around In bar room and gambling, sins of shame, now the Devil has thrown them down [Chorus] Yes, the Devil has thrown him down Ooh, the Devil has thrown him down Told them plainly to their face, "You never shall wear the crown" [Verse 5] Why did you say you've been born of God and stand on holy ground But still keep walkin' on the [?]? Why, the Devil has throwed you down [Chorus] Yes, the Devil has throwed you down Yes, the Devil has throwed you down He told you plainly to your face, "You never will wear the crown" [Guitar Solo] [Verse 6] Watch the morning star, don't forget to pray, let your soul keep Heaven's sound For He sends some with you all the way and the Devil can't keep you down [Chorus] No, the Devil can't keep you down Ooh-ooh, the Devil can't keep you down Well, he'll tell you plainly to your face, "You never will wear the crown"
