Now the devil, he was reading in the Good Book one day
How the Lord created Adam to walk the righteous way.
And it made the devil jealous, he turned green up to his horns,
And he swore by things unholy that he'd make one of his own.So he packed two suitcases full of grief and misery
And he caught the Midnight Special going down to Germany.
Then he mixed his lies and hatred with fire and brimstone,
Then the devil sat upon it--that's how Nancy Pelosi was born.Stalin wasn't Stallin'--The Golden Gate Quartet (1943)
Precious Angel—Bob Dylan
Satan Pulls the Strings—The Avett Brothers
Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down—Uncle Tupelo (traditional)
The Eyes of Texas--Bill Boyd's Cowboy Ramblers (1936)
Hi Fatima:
“The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by Charlie Daniels Band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh7BZf7D5Bw
“Runnin’ with the Devil” by Van Halen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl4dEAtxo0M
“Pretty Little Angel Eyes” by Curtis Lee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZT__JFMUgU
“The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by Charlie Daniels.
As well as the parody “The Devil Came up to Boston” by the Adam Ezra Group. If you’ve never lived in the Boston area, most of it will make no sense, but it’s wicked funny!
Moan, You Moaners--Bessie Smith (1930)
Sing, You Sinners--The Charleston Chasers (1930)
Does the song have to be rock? If not, then:
Angels We Have Heard On High ~James Chadwick (1862)
Back to rock, I’ll submit:
Rainbow Demon ~Uriah Heep (The reissue is awesome on an awesome sound system)
Devil’s Daughter ~Uriah Heep (NOT one of their best! Way, way better is “A Year Or A Day”, in which “The Devil is put to the test.”)
Hell Is For Children ~Pat Benatar (Fantastic!)
Send Me An Angel ~Blackfoot (Best “soaring” intro ever, to a song that just didn’t fit the band, and esp. Ricky Medlocke AT ALL.)
Fallen Angel ~Uriah Heep (Catchy tune, “nice” lyrics, probably too “pop-ish” for their fans at the time.)
And then of course there was the band “Lucifer’s Friend”.
Biggest surprise? So far as I recall, Blue Oyster Cult never did a song title that fits here!
Last Night, I Said a Prayer--Tommy Tucker & His Orchestra (1942)
Black Magic Woman - The original by Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac

“Black Magic Woman”
Got a black magic woman
I got a black magic woman
Yes, I got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can’t see
But she’s a black magic woman
And she’s tryin’ to make a devil out of me
Don’t turn your back on me baby
Don’t turn your back on me baby
Yes, don’t turn your back on me baby
You’re messin’ around with your tricks
Don’t turn your back on me baby
‘Cause you might just break up my magic stick
[break]
You got your spell on me baby
You got your spell on me baby
Yes, you got your spell on me baby
You’re turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad, magic woman, I can’t leave you alone
Yes, I need you so bad
Well, I need you darling
Yeah, I need you darling
Yes, I want you love me
I want you love me
Whoa, I want you love me, ah
Whoh, yeah
Oh, whoa, baby
Yes, I need your love
Oh, I need your love so bad
I want you love me
