3d

The devil came from kansas. where he went to i can't say

42

Though i teach i'm not a preacher, and i aim to stay that way

41

There's a monkey riding on my back, been there for some time

3d

He says he knows me very well but he's no friend of mine

5

1e

I am not a humble pilgrim

2a

There's no need to scrape and squeeze

23

And don't beg for silver paper

27

When i'm trying to sell you cheese

3d

The devil came from kansas. where he went to i can't say

41

If you really are my brother then you'd better start to pray

3c

For the sins of those departed and the ones about to go

42

There's a dark cloud just above us, don't tell me 'cos i know

5

1e

I am not a humble pilgrim

2a

There's no need to scrape and squeeze

23

And don't beg for silver paper

27

When i'm trying to sell you cheese

40

No i never came from kansas, don't forget to thank the cook

3b

Which reminds me of my duty: i was lost and now i look

47

For the turning and the signpost and the road which takes you down

41

To that pool inside the forest in whose waters i shall drown

5

1e

I am not a humble pilgrim

2a

There's no need to scrape and squeeze

23

And don't beg for silver paper

27

When i'm trying to sell you cheese
