[Verse 1]
The devil came knockin' on a Tuesday night
Said "boy, I got a daughter — she's a real delight"
"Her name is Isabella and she burns like flame
She's been waitin' on a man who can play her game"
[Chorus]
Jack and the devil went down together
Through the smoke and the heat and the hellish weather
Isabella was waitin' at the crossroads door
Neither one of 'em had ever been that low before
[Verse 2]
She had eyes like embers and hair like sin
She said "Daddy brought you here but I'll keep you in"
Devil smiled slow, said "now son, behave"
But Isabella had a look that didn't quite say the same
[Chorus]
Jack and the devil went down together
Through the smoke and the heat and the hellish weather
Isabella was waitin' at the crossroads door
Neither one of 'em had ever been that low before
[Bridge]
The devil plays fiddle but Isabella plays men
She said "I've been to heaven and I'll go again"
Jack said "I know this is wrong but Lord it feels right"
The devil just laughed — and he stayed for the night
[Outro]
Jack left smiling at the break of dawn
Devil just shrugged said "my daughter's strong"
