"The Devil to Pay" is a phrase that originates from the early 17th-century English idiom, suggesting that one must face consequences or pay a price for their actions, often implying a moral or ethical reckoning. The phrase has been used in various literary and cultural contexts, including plays, songs, and literature, to convey themes of guilt, responsibility, and retribution.

This is a nautical term from the days of wooden ships. The 'devil' is the longest seam in the ship that runs around the edge of the deck and was awkward and dangerous to 'pay' or caulk. The phrase "between the devil and the deep blue sea" also refers to this seam. To 'pay' a seam was to seal it with pitch after it had been caulked (oakum, basically bits of old rope, was hammered into the seam). So "the devil to pay and no pitch hot" refers to the most unpleasant task on the ship and consequently is used to describe the possibility of finding oneself in an unpleasant or dangerous position.
