Custer cut him down in old Arkansas

Beneath the full moon near Navajo Pass

He roped 'im and he choked 'im and he hanged 'im so high

The angels in heaven they started to cry

Satan is dead Satan is dead

That’s what the telegram said said said

Satan is dead Satan is dead

That’s what the telegram said said said

Thirteen black witches and virgins so fair

The cold stench of sulfur thick in the air

A serpent of gold and the guts of a child

Slaughtered then fed to the beasts of the wild

Satan is dead Satan is dead

That’s what the telegram said said said

Satan is dead Satan is dead

That’s what the telegram said said said

Never again hear his moans at night

Never again see Lucifer’s Light

All are now free from the pleasure of sin

I done said it once but I’ll say it again

Satan is dead Satan is dead

That’s what the telegram said said said

Satan is dead Satan is dead
