“Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down” was recorded by Frank Profitt of Vilas, North Carolina, who learned the song from a black musician, and he played it himself on the banjo in D minor tuning. The melody has a very bluesy feel, and gives great opportunity for improvisation. Frank Profitt's recording can be heard on the superb Rounder compilation High Atmosphere. (Martin Simpson).

Blind Joel Taggart (a guitar evangelist from South Carolina) recorded
“Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down” on his 1931 recording
He Done What the World Couldn’t Do for Paramount Records.

“Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down” 
Satan, your kingdom must come down
Satan, your kingdom must come down
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Satan, your kingdom must come down

I'm gonna pray until they tear your kingdom down
Pray until they tear your kingdom down
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Satan, your kingdom must come down

Satan, your kingdom must come down
Satan, your kingdom must come down
I heard the voice of Jesus cry
Satan, your kingdom must come down
