[D] [E] I was walking down 8th Street [A] when the night was coming on past.
I [G] had gone to buy [A] some cornmeal for [E] our supper.
By [A] the time I got [Em] to Miss [E] Johnson's house, [A] I knew there was something [E] wrong.
[G] By the way that look [A] she had upon [E] her face, I [A] said, Miss Johnson, could you [E] tell me, [A] what are you seeking [E] her for?
She [C] said, Lord, they caught the devil [D] and they've got him in jail [A] in Utah, Arkansas.

And he's got hands that [N] look like leather and a long and funky tail.

[D] [E] I did not know of what she spoke, [A] but I believed every word she said.
[G] And I burned the soles of [A] her feet on the way back [E] home.
[A] Well, the next day a [Em] crowd had gathered [E] [D] [A] out in front of a Utah [E] jailhouse.
[G] But there was not [A] a trace to be seen [E] of the devil.
For [A] the tailor had been a [E] poor man, and now [A] his pockets were stuck [E] with money.
And he [C] was sitting outside [D] in a brand new [E] Continental Leacon.
[D] [E]
With thinner skirts on him,
[D] [E] he would not say where he got the money.
Was he [A] a part of the devil's bargain?
And did [C] he set him free [D] that night in [E] Utah, Arkansas?
Now, who's to say?
