Verse 1
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
Though I teach I'm not a preacher
And I aim to stay that way
There's a monkey riding on my back
Been there for some time
He says he knows me very well
But he's no friend of mine
Chorus
I am not a humble pilgrim
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
And don't beg for silver paper
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
Bb Eb Ab (Eb)

Verse 2
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know
Chorus
I am not a humble pilgrim
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
And don't beg for silver paper
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
Guitar Solo
Bb Eb Bb Eb [3X]

Verse 3
Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown
Chorus
I am not a humble pilgrim
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
And don't beg for silver paper
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
[Coda] (guitar solo; repeat to fade)
