Tell you a secret - you gotta keep it hid
Tell you 'bout a woman - and the things she did
She took my money - and she took my pride
Gonna tell you a secret - I got nothing to hide

'Cause I'm movin on down the line
Gonna leave that no-good woman
Get that devil woman - off my mind

I'll take the moonlight special - gonna do it right
The moonlight special - travel overnight
I'm going up the country - where I can't be found
Find a hideaway and keep my ear close to the ground

'Cause I'm movin on down the line
Gonna leave that no-good woman
Get that devil woman - off my mind

She's a mean mistreater- and she treat me bad
She's a robber and a cheater - and she got me mad
Gonna wash that woman - right outta my mind
Gonna leave that woman - leave that woman way behind

'Cause I'm movin on down the line
Gonna leave that no-good woman
Get that devil woman - off my mind

Gonna tell you a secret - gonna keep it hid
Tell you a secret - 'bout the things she did
Gonna tell you a secret - gonna keep it hid
Tell you a secret - 'bout the things she did
