Like a wild geese in the west The woman that I love
Took her from my best friend
Yes, the woman that I love
Took her from my best friend
Don't you know he got lucky
Stole her back, again
Don't you know he got lucky
Stole her back, again Well, I'd rather be the devil
Than be that woman's man
Yes, I'd rather be the devil
Than be that woman's man
