Gregg Allman - Devil Got My Woman Lyrics






Well, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man
Yes, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man
Oh nothin' but the devil
Changed my baby's mind
It was nothin' but the devil
Changed my baby's mind

Well, I laid down last night
Get my natural rest
Yes, I laid down last night
To get my natural rest
Well my mind got to rambling
Like a wild geese in the west

The woman that I love
Took her from my best friend
Yes, the woman that I love
Took her from my best friend
Don't you know he got lucky
Stole her back, again
Don't you know he got lucky
Stole her back, again

Well, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man
Yes, I'd rather be that devil
Than be that woman's man

    D.... G....

    fallspeed ^^^ Exactly! if anyone knew anything about the Allman Brothers or of Gregg Allman, you'd know this whole album was covers of other songs. RIP Gregg, god of southern rock!

    D.... G....

    It called COVERING not stealing, you fuckwhit

  23. K.... N....

    This base drum sounds like the heartdrums of the Native American, would be beautifull if they would play together. so deep and warm the sound.

  27. H.... L....

    lyrics please?

    H.... L....

    A mans friends wife is very beautiful, she gets involved with another woman. And his friend finally gets his wife back. But Gregg would rather not go through such pain. But he did, and in his case. She didn't come back.

  28. s.... ....

    Who else could have done justice to these songs, much less improved upon them...Gregg Allman is always the BEST.

  29. A.... T....

    I saw Greggory in Lake Tahoe, was the last stop on the tour. I was sad at first because of obvious health problems he has had. He blew that away and the evening became nostalgic. after reading his book I saw I havent heard all of his music. now I'm going to get all his albums. It's always been about the Music, His true Love. I love you Gregg and hope nothing but the best comes your way.

  30. E.... ....

    This is good....

  31. L.... V....

    Very nice, but Skip James is much better.

  32. 1.... ....

    plenty of ghost in savannah ga. too..

  33. s.... ....

    I guess its between Gregg and Bonnie, for second and third

  34. R.... P....

    Doyle Bramhall II on guitar.

  35. D.... R....

    My God in Heaven!!! This is sooooooooooooooo good!!!! Skip would approve...

  36. e.... ....

    Great, great, great cover!!! Thanks for uploading!!!

  37. M.... ....

    This guy knows what the fuck he's doing - wow.

    M.... ....

    Of course he does he is Gregory L Allman.

  38. k.... ....

    @Freethinker12341
    Gregg is the greatest MALE blues singer there has ever been. Janis Joplin ranks up there with the many women. John Lee Hooker is right up there - but Greg is the best there's ever been!

  39. A.... D....

    The whole album is excellent! Glad to hear him back to the roots. This is where it all started.

  40. J.... H....

    Soul-stirring....Gregg, thank you.Otherwise, I'm speechless.

  41. T.... M....

    GREGG YOU ARE AMAZING AND THE NEW SONGS ARE A GREAT TALENT IN THE ALBUMS YOU HAVE MORE THAN THE BROTHERS. ITS ONE OF THE BEST THATYOU HAVE EVER DONE

  42. c.... ....

    Yeah...no one could ever touch Skip's version, but Gregg (with the help of T-Bone) has surely made Skip proud.

  43. k.... n....

    Gregg is amazing.. his voice sounds great and this CD has a totally funky feel, awesome players and musical selections.. so glad he is back.

  44. J.... P....
