She's got eyes of fire that burn like a shot of whiskey
And she's been known to bring a man to his knees
She'll take all you have and you never see it comin'
And that's how I know the devil is a woman

Well, Mister Johnson knows 'cause he saw her up close in the delta
Said: Mam, if you don't mind, would you tune this guitar for me?
But she took his soul and she broke his heart just for fun
And that's how I know the devil is a woman
That's how I know

Temptation is her game
She'll make you want to
Anything that she wants you to
And just when you think that you understand her
Everything changes
Oh, everything changes

Charlie swears that he saw her somewhere down in Georgia
He says she plays a pretty mean fiddle, it's true
Oh, believe him through, he got that fiddle of gold
She will never admit that you've won
And that's how I know the devil is a woman
Yeah, that's how I know the devil is a woman

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, that's how I know
Yeah, yeah
That's how I know
Yeah, oh, oh, that's how I know

Yeah, yeah
That's how I know
Oh, yeah
