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
