They Caught The Devil And Put Him In Jail In Eudora, Arkansas - Tony Joe White[00:00:00]

I was walking down a dirt road[00:00:26]

And the night was coming on fast[00:00:30]

I had gone to for some corn meal for our supper[00:00:34]

By the time I got to miss Johnson's house[00:00:42]

I knew there was something wrong[00:00:46]

By the worried look she had upon her face[00:00:50]

I said Miss Johnson could you tell me[00:00:58]

What are you shaking for[00:01:03]

She said Lord they caught the devil[00:01:06]

And they got him in jail in Eudora Arkansas[00:01:08]

And he's got a mean that looked like leather[00:01:16]

And a long and foggy tail[00:01:20]

And when he touches it against the sepbars[00:01:23]

Sparks would fly[00:01:28]

I did not know of what she spoke[00:01:50]

But I believed every word she said[00:01:54]

And I burned the souls of[00:01:58]

My feet on my way back home[00:02:01]

Well the next day a crowd had gathered[00:02:06]

Out in front of the Eudora jailhouse[00:02:10]

But there was not a chase to be seen of the devil[00:02:15]

Now the jailer had been a poor man[00:02:22]

And now his pockets were stuffed with money[00:02:26]

And he was sitting outside in a[00:02:30]

BRand new Continental Lincoln[00:02:33]

With famous skirts on it[00:02:44]

He would not say where he got the money[00:02:50]

Was he a part of the devils bargain[00:02:54]

And did he set him free[00:02:58]

That night in Eudora Arkansas[00:03:00]

Now who's to say[00:03:06]
