  • Fee fie fo fum
    We're looking down the barrel
    Of the devil's gun
    Nowhere to run
    We've gotta make the stand
    Against the devil's gun

    Fee fie fo fum
    We're looking down the barrel
    O the devil's gun
    Nowhere to run
    We've gotta make the stand
    Against the devil's gun

    Better make a move now
    Well, well you know there
    An't no time to lose now
    Oh well, his finger's on the trigger
    He's waiting to deliver

    Can we ever figure out the way
    To make the people shout
    Get a new direction
    Well, well, well another resurrection
    Well now don't wait hesitate
    Or it's gonna be too late

    Flames are getting higher
    Got to jump out of the fire
    He's watching us burn
    He's watching us burn
    One day we'll learn
    One day we'll learn

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn this day in 1977 {May 15th} "Devil's Gun" by C.J. and Company entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #98, eight weeks later it would peak at #36 {for 1 week} and it spent over a half-year on the Top 100 {29 weeks}...
    And on August 21st, 1973 "Devil's Gun" peaked at #2 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, and the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "Float On" by the Floaters...
    Note: According to https://www.discogs.com/artist/84669-CJ-Co and Wikipedia, group member Charles Clark was also a member of the group The Floaters, could it be he was a member of both groups at the same time?
