Springsteen, Bruce - A Night With The Jersey Devil Lyrics

Amen, brother.

I love all these comments about how he should make or star in a movie and here we are, 2019, and his own movie is about to be release. This is awesome!

Is this not available on CD?

The Boss. ❤❤❤

Great song and I love what it’s about: The Jersey Devil.

Bruce is the worst singer ever!!!!!!!

Uau..queria esse BRUXO para mim.,rsrsrs

A spoonful of the Howlin' Boss...

My favourite Halloween song.

this is Van Morrison...what you think...

The Night Of The Hunter.

So fuckin' dramatic, spiritual and sexy AF

E UMA FERA

Wow! A good illustration of how Bruce could have a film career. This reminds me of shows like "True Blood" or "True Detective." Nasty evil stuff!

Cool video. Bruce looks angry and crazy.
Must have been the day after Trump was elected

Trump was elected in 2016, this came out seven years earlier...nice thinking!

terrible.

what album is this song on can't find to buy it

The song was released as a download-only single, accompanied by a video, on October 31, 2008 as a "Halloween treat" on the artist's website. This release featured a handwritten note by Springsteen:

Dear Friends and Fans,
if you grew up in central or south Jersey, you grew up with the "Jersey Devil."
Here's a little musical Halloween treat. Have fun!
- Bruce Springsteen
The video is included the deluxe edition DVD of his Working on a Dream album, which is currently the only official physical release of the song. It is a blues tune with bullet mic vocals, including portions of the Gene Vincent 1958 song "Baby Blue" (specifically, one verse - featured here as the last verse), and therefore Springsteen shares the song's writing credits with the two co-writers of "Baby Blue", Robert Jones and Gene Vincent.

Springsteen's lyrics tell the story of a legendary creature known as the "Jersey Devil"; in 1735 a woman called "Mother Leeds" gave birth to her 13th child, who metamorphosed into an evil creature with bat wings, forked feet and a horse's head; because of this, his parents threw him in a river where he drowned and now haunts the Pine Barrens in New Jersey.

The song was released on 7" vinyl along with "What Love Can Do" on April 18, 2009 as part of the Record Store Day promotion

HI BRUCE! MAGIC SONG!

I just read the comments here and so many of them are my exact same thoughts!!! This man gave us 4 hours and 4 minutes in Philly and then mere weeks later this? Can you say AMAZING?!?!?!?! Thank God he uses his gift for good!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

una volta all'anno, il Jersey Devil torna negli inferi ...per bruciare tutti i suoi peccati

This was so fucking cool! This is why I love the Boss, you never know what he's going to do next!

Thanks Bruce. Happy Halloween to you too. See you in Auckland! Hope I get to shake your hand again!

What. A. Boss.

great actor :D

well...I listened again and again...but I'm still not comfortable with it...lol

Intensely Bizarre. Unlike anything he has Ever Done. This man is 13 Levels of Amazing!!!
Where will he go. Where will he go - Next.

Will Rodgers, is that your real name? Do you know who the other, older Will Rogers was? Noticed no d in his name.

And I,m wondering what does Patti think of all this?

...Please somebody explain to me what's going on here!!! I really don't get this video, How can Bruce "worship" Love and the devil..This video really disappoints me...How can he sing something as beautyful as Drive all night and come down to this kind of...can even call it music...Bruce? is it really you making those dark sounds?

This is blues song. It's tongue and cheek, it's funny. This is music, it's just different. If you take away the distortion on the vocals, it's Muddy Waters or Howlin Wolf :)

If you know Bruce, you know that he also has a goofy sense of humor (parts of his live show) and he loves edgier music too (he was a fan of the band Suicide and covers their song "Dream baby dream", he also used to go see the Ramones)

Could be a payment for his success.

Have Mercy! Now this is great!

bruce fuck me

il like it

worse thing I have ever heard..dam..he wasn't singing that he mouthed the words though..

i like bruce~~~~~~~~~!~~~~tru

Rightchussss!

this is fuckin hilarious,

satanico boss !!!!!!! splendido regalo per halloween !!!

i know its based on the new jersey pine barrons devil, but its got that southern/mid west kick to it.

South Jersey has a lot in common with the Midlands South--it's barely related to North Jersey. A very interesting place with a fascinating history.

or should i say texas style

is this played at the beginning of Devil in the Woods? love it

Anche come attore mi piace!  Ma lo preferisco come cantante!

Awesome!!

The Boss kicking some Halloween Ass! Love it

Its nice~~

Fun! I'm down with this devil music on All Saints Eve,

Love the twitch in his eye...

as a Horror movie fan  and  a bruce springsteen fan this is the best video ever

The coolest Bruce Springsteen video ever!!

Bruce is Thema best

Watching the video...I just can't wait for Lilyhammer!!!

most badass blues style song ever

Bruce needs to star in a movie!!

This needs to be a fucking movie lol

Sexy thing!

This is so f**cking AWESOME!!! That's why he is the one and only BOSS!!!

Not just the voice...by far.

It's called putting every bit of himself..inside and out...into his craft. He is known for his passion, his power. No lip syncing for this man.

Tom Waits, anyone?

wow, e new side to the Boss on this one.and

wait for it.....

I LOVED IT

Magic Halloween for everybody!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Straight from Bruce Springsteen, the most badass man alive!

Been a Bruce fan since 1973. I wished we had more of this side.

He can do whatever he wants. He's the BOSS!

gotta be quick! :)

I came here to make that exact comment :)

Some people get him--some don't....Bet your a no good miley fan who has no talent but putting her ass up in the air just hopeing some one will give it to her. your generation doesn't know good music. Don't like the music..LEAVE

Please make a holiday cd with this as a bonus track

no dovol :???? ale ja bruce sprighsteen mám moc ráda takže nevím proč mi říkáš že jsem trapna

Why does it sound like hes constipated and is trying to push out a crap every time he sings?

Can this man do any wrong?! Every song is epic!

I would love to see the boss star in a movie

niloh96

USINAGE ONLINE . COM
MERCI DE VOTRE VISITTE

The last verse is borrowed from Gene Vincent's "Baby Blue"...

0:31 reminds me of an movie called apoclypse now

More like Robert Mitchem in that movie

Ok that was weird...kinda liked it though :) #massivebossfan

detecting a hint of Nick Cave's darkness and Tom Waits vocals here - anyone else agree?

He should be acting

You are not alone... Greetings from 27 years younger girl. ;)

"So kiss me, baby....til it hurts!!"

The rugged good looks don't hurt either. ;)

How in the HELL can he be this sexy when he's over sixty? Must be that awesome, raspy voice. <3

looks like motorhead's blues

@ElCineHefe I agree. The brilliant Thom Zimny directed, shot, and cut this video. If you're interested in more about him, his working relationship with Springsteen, the creative process behind this video, in particular, check out the Winter 2011/2012 (#90) edition of Backstreets magazine. It includes a lengthy interview with Zimny. Worth tracking down.
