Don't know why I was thinking about this but realized a few of these were staples but I don't recall hearing them in decades now as an adult.

Shut da door
Keep out de devil
Shut da door keep da devil in the night

Shut da door
Keep out de devil
Light the candle everything's alright


And another favorite

Now the devil he's got a slippery shoe
(Imma gonna serve God till I die)
And if you don't mind...he gonna slip it on you (slip it on you)
(Imma gonna serve God till I die)


Some people believe
(Some people believe)
That there ain't no hell
(That there ain't no hell)

Some people believe
(Some people believe)
That there ain't no heh-eh-eh-ell
(That there ain't no heh-eh-eh-ell)

Some people believe there ain't no hell...
They're going to roast like a taco shell
All my sins are washed away I've been redeemed



You heathens got any favorites?

Don't be a taker,
be a joyous giver.
