I have found, by poking about (way too many) garage sales, a curious song. I now have three different versions of this song by three different rural style blues singers. Each version has a different title and the verses and melodies used are different in each rendition but it's basically the same song. One is titled, "The Evil Devil Woman Blues". Another is called, "The Devil's Got My Woman", and the last and probably best known of the three is called, "I'd Rather Be The Devil". While these three blues songs are not strictly about the devil but rather about a man's devilish woman. The devil is mentioned prominently several times in the verses and the titles.

I'm interested in older songs, 1900-1950s, and would like to learn a few songs from that period about the devil. I'm curious to know if any of the folks who frequent this site might know of any songs they could suggest. I enjoy songs within that same style of primitive or rural delta folk blues but any style offerings from that period would be acceptable and greatly appreciated even novelty or comical songs.

Many thanks, Reggie Miles
