Lyrics
Devil Got My Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd rather be the devil, than be that woman's man
I'd rather be the devil, than be that woman's man
Oh, nothing but the devil, changed my baby's mind
Oh, nothing but the devil, changed my baby's mind
I laid down last night, laid down last night
I laid down last night, tryin' to take my rest
My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese from the west
From the west
The woman I love, woman that I loved
Woman I love, took her from my best friend
But he got lucky, stoled her back again
And he got lucky, stoled her back again
