You know I'd rather be the ol' devil
I'd rather be the devil, then to be that woman man
You know I'd rather be the ol' devil, then to be that woman man
You know I'm so sorry
You know I'm so sorry, that I ever fell in love with you
Because you don't treat me, like you used to do
You know I laid down last night
You know I laid down last night, and I tried to take me some rest
But my mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese from the west
You know the woman I love, woman that I loved
The woman I loved, I took her from my best friend
But you know he done got lucky, and he done got her back again
You know, I used to cut your kindleing
You know, I used to cut your kindleing
Baby, then I made you some fire
Then I would tote all your water
Way, way, way, from the bogy brier
You know, my baby she don't drink whiskey
My baby, she don't drink no whiskey
An I know she ain't crazy about wine
Now, it was nothin' but the ol' devil
He done changed my baby's mind
You know, I could be right
You know, I could be right
Then again, I could be wrong
But it was nothin' but the ol' devil
He done got my baby
Now he done gone
