Performed by
Skip JamesAbout
Known as one of the most haunting blues songs to ever be recorded by a Delta Bluesman, “Devil Got My Woman” showcases the best of Skip James. Tuning his guitar to D minor, and using a strange and complex fingerpicking, James sings of a woman who ran off with his best friend.

Devil Got My Woman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'd rather be the devil than to be that woman man
I'd rather be the devil than to be that woman man
Aw, nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
Was nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
[Verse 2]
I laid down last night, laid down last night
I laid down last night, tried to take my rest
My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese
From the west, from the west
[Verse 3]
The woman I love, woman that I loved
Woman I loved, took her from my best friend
But he got lucky, stoled her back again
And he got lucky, stoled her back again
