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
