 Now, my baby wasn't even decided
 About our weddin' ring
 When it come to our marryin'
 It didn't seem to 'mount to a other thing
 But I been dealin' with the devil
 I been dealin' with the devil
 I believe I been dealin' with the devil
 My woman don't love me, no mo'
 Well now, I've got the meanest woman
 The meanest woman you most ev'r seen
 She sleep wit a ice pick in her hand
 Man, an she fights all in her dream
 I sooner be sleepin' with the devil
 I sooner be sleepin' with the devil
 I sooner be sleepin' with the devil
 My woman don't love me, no mo'
 Now, my mother, she said one thing
 You know an then father said the same
 'You keep on foolin' 'round, Sonny Boy
 'Women, really gon' change your name'
 I been dealin' with the devil
 I been dealin' with the devil
 I been dealin' with the devil
 My woman don't love me, no mo'
 (harmonica)
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
 Ah, you know I been havin'
 You know, little, you know, friendly
 Just friendly with the devil, you know
 Yeah, but I got in little trouble
 I don't do that no mo', watch!
 (harmonica)
 Now baby, you know I ain't goin' down
 You know, this big road by myself
 Now, an if I can't take you
 I'm gonna carry somebody else
 Because I been dealin' with the devil, now
 I been dealin' with the devil
 I been dealin' with the devil
 A-my woman don't love me, no mo'
 (harmonica, piano & drums to end)
