(N. James, arr. by G. Johnson)
It was nothing but the devil
Changed my baby`s mind
Yes, nothing but the devil
Changed my baby`s mind
I`d sooner be the devil
Than to be that woman`s man
Yeah, I`d rather be the devil
Than to be that woman`s man
Well, I layed down last night
Layed down last night
Layed down last night
You know I tried to take my rest
My mind started to rambling
You know, like the wild geese in the west
Lord, I may be right
Then again, I may be wrong
Lord, I may be right
Well, then again, I may be wrong
Well the woman that I love
Woman I love
Woman I love
Stole her from my best friend
You know, he got lucky
And he stole her back again
And I`d soon rather be the devil
Than to be that woman`s man
