I fell in love with a devilish man,
he was the only man I knew
I fell in love with a devilish man,
he was the only man I knew
And he took me to the river,
and showed me to the water so blue
Charles Winter was the only light I saw
And he took me to the river
and showed me to the devil's jar
But happiness is in the cold black dirt
Oh, it's in the cold black dirt
So take your man and hike up that skirt,
I fell in love with a devilish man,
he was the only man I knew
I fell in love with a devilish man,
he was the only man I knew
And he took me to the river,
he showed me to the water
Oh, is in the cold, black dirt
Oh, hap piness is in the cold, dirt
So take your man and hike
And show him to us a bluff
