Skip James early recording
Lyrics:
I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man
I'd rather be the devil, to be that woman man
Aw, nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
Was nothin' but the devil, changed my baby's mind
I laid down last night, laid down last night
I laid down last night, tried to take my rest
My mind got to ramblin', like a wild geese
From the west, from the west
The woman I love, woman that I loved
Woman I loved, took her from my best friend
But he got lucky, stoled her back again
But he got lucky, stoled her back again
There's also a remastered version on youtube at:

I have the old Vanguard LP that this recording is probably from, and I sat up close when he performed the song at an afternoon blues workshop at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 (where the picture may have been taken). It always sends chills up my spine. He was a true master.
