Raw Head, Devil and the Barefooted Woman

Part 3

     "Somebody else done found out she pretty, too, and she's going to get rid of you. Better keep a close watch on her tonight when you go to bed. Make out like you asleep and see if she don't try to cut you're throat with a razor!" "Get off this place-lying on my wife!" and so the Woman went off (step, step, step, step) That night he got in bed and laid there with his eyes shut. The wife went and got his razor and slipped it to bed with her. 

    She got the cobweb in one hand and the razor in the other and leaned over him to cut his mole off. He had the cover up round his neck and soon as she started to ease it back he opened his eyes and grabbed her and took the razor. "Unh hunh! I was told you were going to cut my throat, but I didn't believe it. From now on, we ain't no more husband and wife." He dressed and left her cryin on the bed. The Barefooted woman ran don to the sweet gum tree to get her shoes. The Devil come brought them but he cut a long sapling and tied the shoes to the end of it and held them out to the woman and told her. "You parted them alright. Here's the shoes I promised but anybody that can create more disturbance than me is too dangerous. I don't wont them around me." and as soon as she took the shoes the Devil vanished.
