(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
