Skip James - Devil Got My Woman Lyrics
You know, I'd rather be the ol' devilWell, I'd rather be the devilThen to be that woman' manYou know, rather be the devilThan to be that woman' manYou know, I'm so sorryYou know, so sorryThat I ever fell in love wit' you-ooo-hoo-ooBecause you know you don't treat meBaby, like you used ta do-hooYou know, I laid down last nightYou know, I laid down last nightAnd I thought to take me some restBut my mind got to ramblingLike a wild geese from the westYou know the woman that I loveThe woman that I loveI stol't her from my best friendBut you know he done got luckyAn he done got her back, againYou know, I used to cut your kindleingYou know, I used to cut your kindleingBaby, then I made you some fireThen I would tote all your waterWay, way, way, from the bogy brierYou know, my baby she don't drink whiskeyMy baby, she don't drink no whiskeyAn I know she ain't crazy about wineNow, it was nothin' but the ol' devilHe done changed my baby's mindYou know, I could be rightYou know, I could be rightThen again, I could be wrongBut it was nothin' but the ol' devilHe done got my babyNow he done gone.~
