wednesday wallop #45 > the crossroads
this week we recount the sad tale of willy, and his crossroad disaster…little rhodes action, some horns, upright bass, some gargly – crunchy – guttural synth lead, airy pad, laid back drums..I added a lightly seasoned drum roll – don’t hear enough of em IMO. I had a lot of technical problems this week – gonna have to tweak the old system and see why the hiccups were so prevalent…but you don’t need to worry yourself – we made yet another wallop…45 my friends…as to the tale – let it be a warning for us all – the devil does not honor anything or anyone – he is a liar a thief and a murderer, not one to negotiate with. Many have exchanged their soul for some paltry fame, money, positions…worthless stuff in comparison to the value of our soul – Christ said he would not exchange the whole world for His soul…lyrics and visual below (click to enlarge)…to stream click the arrow here the crossroads
the crossroads
oh little willy couldn’t get himself a clue
how to get a woman so he figured what he’d do
is head on down to the forest next to olsons old farm
a deal with the devil he was thinkin would do no harm
oh little willy the wind did sigh
if you want a woman there’s gonna be a price
i ain’t got no money for to pay your devils fee
i ain’t got no nuthin but little old me
little old willy has a soul that will do
just sign here in blood and get your woman brand new
oh no willy (2X)
so willy signed got his girl and felt a little burn
everywhere he went the heads would turn
one day however things turned for the worse
all day long the woman screamed villified and cursed
she rode willy like willy was a little mule
the only thing she said was willy youre a fool
the strain from all the hate finally proved willys doom
one dark day he snapped they put him in a rubber room
willy lost his mind and he lost his soul
instead of love the devil gave him one big black hole
the devil gave him one big black hole
they say you know a devils deal is a deal for a fool
well he should have known – if he would have just hung out a little longer for the Lord
who knows where this thing would have gone
the Lord man
the Lord knows what he needs and has everyone his provisions
willy had his lust and had to go get his thing
and he couldn’t turn back
oh no willy (2X)
