Classic Poem

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
