Devil woman

I met a devil woman
In a dream the other night
Had the black cat eyes
And I swear she could fly
Yeah, I met a devil woman
In a dream the other night
Woo-wooh, woo-wooh
I swear she could fly
Yeah, I swear the gal could fly
Yeah, I swear she could fly
And I heard my mama cry

Met a gypsy in jail
Was about to die
Gave me two clear vials
Now, son they make you fly
Met a gypsy in jail
Was about to die
Woo-wooh, woo-wooh
Yeah, I heard my mama cry
I can hear the little girl cry
I can hear her cry
Yeah, I heard my mama cry
She said don't you kill yourself

Had a black cat bone
Had the John the Conqueroo'
(High John the Conqueror Root **)
Had the needle in my hand
But I ain't got you
Yeah, I met a devil woman
In a dream the other night
Woo-wooh, woo-wooh
I can hear my mama cry
I can hear the little girl cry
I could hear my mama cry
Said now sonny don't die
Don't you kill yourself

Now you're thinkin' 'bout smokin'
Or the needle and the spoon
Just remember what I said
In that dirty backroom
Well, I met a devil woman
In a dream the other night
Woo-wooh, woo-wooh
I heard my mama cry
I can hear her cry
I can hear the little girl cry
Said sonny don't die
Don't you kill yourself
