Ive been down with a broken heart Since the day I learned to speak The devil gave me a crooked start When he gave me crooked feet But Gabriel done came to me And kissed me in my sleep And Ill be singing like an angel Until Im six feet deep I found myself an omen and I tattooed on a sign I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line You have a mind to keep me quiet And although you can try Better men have hit their knees And bigger men have died [Chorus] Im gonna raise, raise hell Theres a story no one tells You gotta raise, raise hell Go on and ring that bell You came upon a lightning strike And eyes of bright clear blue I took that tie from around my neck And gave my heart to you I sent my love across the sea And though I didnt cry That voice will haunt my every dream Until the day I die [Chorus] Im gonna raise, raise hell Theres a story no one tells You gotta raise, raise hell Go on and ring that bell I dug a hole inside my heart To put you in your grave At this point it was you or me And mama didnt raise no slave You took my face in both your hands And looked me in the eye And I went down with such a force That in your grave I lie [Chorus] Im gonna raise, raise hell Theres a story no ones telling You gotta raise, raise hell Go on and ring that bell Go on and ring that bell Go on and ring that bell Go on and ring that bell
