Hey Lyrics

When the devil comes for me I know heÊ¼ll drag me down through the ground nice and slow, and if IÊ¼m lucky enough heÊ¼ll take my eyes before I go

Hey (lord my lord)

When the devil comes for me IÊ¼ll be shootin doves while iÊ¼m ï¬‚oatin down the
Mississippi and if IÊ¼m lucky enough heÊ¼ll beat my head before I leave

Hey (lord my lord)

Cus IÊ¼ve been a bad man, rolling into town when everyoneÊ¼s sittinÊ¼ in pews
And I would roll up, thinkin’
I could show up, dressed in boots, fuck sunday shoes
Well I deserve it, so I prepped for hell pits, only one more grand thing to do
IÊ¼m gonna drink myself until I canÊ¼t stand cus when I die thereÊ¼ll be no more booze

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
