Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

I'd Rather Be The Devil

I'd rather be the devil and I will leave my woman's ?mane?

Yes, I'd rather be the devil and I will leave my woman's ?mane?

'Cause nothing but the devil knows my baby's

Nothing but the devil knows my baby's

Nothing but the devil knows my baby's name

Well, I laid down last night and I was trying to take my rest

Yes, I laid 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

Mind starts a-rambling like the wild geese in the west

The woman I love, though she's evil all the time

Yeah, the woman I love, oh she's evil all the time

Studies so much evil, just add it on

So much evil, just add it on

So much evil, just add it on to mine

The woman I love, I stole her from my own best friend

The woman I love, I stole her from my best friend

But I know you'll get lucky, steal her back

I know you'll get lucky, try to steal her back

I know you'll get lucky, steal her back again
