[D] [Em] I was [Abm] walking down [E] a dirt road [A] and the night was coming on fast.
I [G] had gone to buy some [A] cornmeal for [E] our supper.
[Em] By the [A] time I got [Em] to Miss [E] Johnson's house, [A] I knew there was something [E] wrong.
[G] By the worried look [A] she had upon her [E]
face, I [Dbm] said,
Miss [Am] Johnson, could [E] you tell me [A] what are you seeking [E] for?
She [C] said, Lord, they've got the devil [D] and they've got him in jail [A] in Eudora, [E] Arkansas.

[A] Well, the next day a [Em] crowd had gathered [E] [D] out [A] in front of Eudora [E] jailhouse.
[G] But there was not [A] a trace to be seen [E] of the devil.

And he [C] was sitting outside [D] in a brand new [E] Continental Legion [A] [E]
[D] [E]
with thinner skirts on it.
[D] [E] He would not say where he got the money.
Was [A] he a part of the devil's bargain?
And [C] did he set him free [D] that night in [E] Eudora, Arkansas?
