Martin Scorsese Best of the Blues movie - Devil Got My Woman lyrics

rate me

Song by Skip James<br /><br>

I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man<br>

I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man<br>

Aw, nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind<br>

Was nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind<br>

<br>

I laid down last night, laid down last night<br>

I laid down last night, tried to take my rest<br>

My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese<br>

From the west, from the west<br>

<br>

The woman I love, woman that I loved<br>

Woman I loved, took her from my best friend<br>

But he got lucky, stoled her back again<br>

And he got lucky, stoled her back again<br>

<br>
