I Been Dealing With the Devil - John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

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'

Spoken

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!

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'
