Lyrics:

(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
