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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:28] Sparks would fly

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:33] BRand new Continental Lincoln

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

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

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

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

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

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