| 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 |
