Lyrics - Get Thee Behind Me Satan by Irving Berlin

Get thee behind me, satan
I want to resist
But the moon is low and
I can’t say no
Get thee behind me
Get thee behind me, satan
I mustn’t be kissed
But the moon is low and
I may let go
Get thee behind me
Someone
I’m mad about
Is waiting in the night for me
Someone that
I mustn’t see
Satan, get thee behind me
He promised to wait
But
I won’t appear and he may come here
Satan, he’s at my gate
Get thee behind me
Stay where you are
It’s too late
