Evil Devil Woman Blues - Joe McCoy

I'd rather be the devil oh rather be the devil

Be that old woman's man that woman's man

Oh she was evil oh she was evil

Wouldn't work hand in hand hand in hand

Oh she's all right now oh she's all right now

She's all right with me all right with me

But the devil is evil oh the devil is evil

Evil as he can be as he can be

I tried to be oh tried to be

Tried to be nice and kind nice and kind

Oh she was evil oh she was evil

Would not change her mind change her mind

I'll cut your wood baby oh I'll cut your wood baby

And I'll build your fire build your fire

I'll bring your water oh bring your water

Through that muddy bayou muddy bayou

I'll give my money oh give my money

To buy your shoes and clothes shoes and clothes

But you was evil oh you was evil

Throwed me out of doors out of doors

But that's all right baby oh that's all right baby

It's coming home to you coming home to you

I tried to be oh tried to be

Tried to be a man to you a man to you
