Evil Devil Woman Blues Songtext
von Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe

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
