Devil Got My Woman

Must have been the devil
Believe that woman has gone mad
Must a been the devil
Believe that woman has gone mad
Nothing' but the devil
Change my baby's mind
Nothing but the devil
Change my baby's mind
Laid down last night
Laid down last night
Laid there last night
And tried to take my rest
My mind got to rambling'
Like wild geese from the west
Must have been the devil
Believe that woman has gone mad
Must have been the devil
Believe that woman has gone mad
Woman I love
Woman I love; took off with my best friend
Believe that woman has gone mad
Must a been the devil
Believe that woman has gone mad
Nothing' but the devil
Change my baby's mind
Nothing but the devil
Change my baby's mind
Laid down last night
Laid down last night
Laid there last night
And tried to take my rest
My mind got to rambling'
Like wild geese from the west
Must have been the devil
Believe that woman has gone mad
Must have been the devil
Believe that woman has gone mad
Woman I love
Woman I love; took off with my best friend
