I met a devil woman 
 In a dream the other night 
 Had the black cat eyes 
 And I swear make you fly 
 Said, I met a devil woman 
 In a dream the other night 
 Said baby, Said baby 
 I heard my mama cry 
 I can hear the little girl cry 
 I can hear her cry 
 Said now sonny don't die 
    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 
 Said baby, Said baby 
 I swear she could fly 
 Yeah, I swear the gal could fly 
 I can hear her cry 
 Yeah, I heard my mama cry 
 I can hear her cry 
 Said now sonny 
 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 
 Cause I met a devil woman 
 In a dream the other night 
 Said baby, Said baby 
 I swear she could fly 
 Yeah, I swear the gal could fly 
 I can hear her cry 
 I now sonny don't die 
 Said why you kill yourself?   
 Had a black cat bone 
 Had the John the Conqueroo' 
 Had the needle in my hand 
 But I ain't got you 
 Cause I met a devil woman 
 In a dream the other night 
 Said baby, Said baby 
 I swear she could fly 
 Yeah, I swear the gal could fly 
 I can hear her cry 
 Said now sonny don't die 
 Said Don't you kill yourself
