Now, my baby wasn`t even decided

About our weddin` ring

When it come to our marryin`

It didn`t seem to `mount to a other thing



But I been dealin` with the devil

I been dealin` with the devil

I believe I been dealin` with the devil

My woman don`t love me, no mo`



Well now, I`ve got the meanest woman

The meanest woman you most ev`r seen

She sleep wit a ice pick in her hand

Man, an she fights all in her dream



I sooner be sleepin` with the devil

I sooner be sleepin` with the devil

I sooner be sleepin` with the devil

My woman don`t love me, no mo`



Now, my mother, she said one thing

You know an then father said the same

`You keep on foolin` `round, Sonny Boy

`Women, really gon` change your name`



I been dealin` with the devil

I been dealin` with the devil

I been dealin` with the devil

My woman don`t love me, no mo`



(harmonica)







Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!



Ah, you know I been havin`

You know, little, you know, friendly

Just friendly with the devil , you know



Yeah, but I got in little trouble

I don`t do that no mo`, watch!



(harmonica)



Now baby, you know I ain`t goin` down

You know, this big road by myself

Now, an if I can`t take you

I`m gonna carry somebody else



Because I been dealin` with the devil, now

I been dealin` with the devil

I been dealin` with the devil

A-my woman don`t love me, no mo`



(harmonica, piano & drums to end)
