Skip James (1902-1969) - Devil Got My Woman (1931)

Words: Well, I'd rather be the devil
Then to be that woman' man
You know, rather be the devil
Than to be that woman' man

Now, it was nothin' but the ol' devil
He done changed my baby's mind

I laid down last night
I laid down last night
And I thought to take me some rest
But my mind got to rambling
Like a wild geese from the west

You know the woman that I love
The woman that I love
I stol't her from my best friend
But you know he done got lucky
An he done got her back, again
