Lyrics

I'd rather be the devil Than I would be my woman's man Yes I'd rather be the devil Than I would be my woman's man Cos nothing but the devil Knows my baby Nothing but the devil Knows my baby Nothing but the devil Knows my baby's mind. Well I lay down last night And I was trying to take my rest Yes I lay down, last night I was trying to take my rest But my mind starts a rambling Like the wild geese in the My mind starts a rambling Like the wild geese in the My mind starts a rambling Like the wild geese in the west. Yes the woman I love Oh she's evil all the time Yeah, the woman I love She's evil all the time She studied so much evil Just to have it on So much evil Just to have it on So much evil Just to have it on her mind. The woman that I love Stole her from my best friend The woman I love I stole her from my best friend But I know he'll get lucky Steal her back I know he'll get lucky Try to steal her back I know he'll get lucky Steal her back again.
