Bruce Springsteen: “A Night With the Jersey Devil” lyrics/ video
By Therese Lisieux on October 31st, 2008Bruce Springsteen observes the Halloween tradition faithfully. Every year, he decorates his home in Rumson, New Jersey, with Halloween themed festive decor. This year, Springsteen regrets he is unable to do so because of crowd control problems with “too many visitors.” Bruce Springsteen has written and recorded a music video about the Jersey Devil for his fans. Springsteen dug deep into the myth of the Jersey Devil for the song, “A Night With the Jersey Devil.”
The lyrics of Bruce Springsteen's "A Night With the Jersey Devil" is below. Direct Youtube link.
The sound distortion is deliberate.

Hear me now!
I was born 13th child, 'neath the 13th moon
Spit out all hungry and born anew
Daddy drag me to the river tie me in rocks
Throw me in where it’s deep and wide
I go down, I don’t die
Hole in the river bottom, I crawl through
Come back kill six brothers and sisters, kill papa too
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Into my bed with her kerosene my mama creep
Set my flesh to burning, whilst I sleep
I burn, burn, burn, till my soul burn black
Black rains fall, I come back, I come back
Get down Mama, get down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
16 witches, cast 16 spells
Make me a guitar outta skin and human skull
Sing you a song like the wind in the sandy loam
Bring you baby out your happy home
Ram’s head, forked tail, clove hoof, love’s my trail
I sup on your body, sip on your blood like wine
Out world theirs, this world mine
So kiss me baby till it hurts
God lost in heaven, we lost on earth
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Wherever I go, wherever I go
Well I got a brand new lover
I love her yes I do,
She’s my one and only and her name is Baby Blue …
