MARTY ROBBINS - DEVIL WOMAN
(M. Robbins)
Delta DS 5005

I told Mary about us
Told her about our great sin
Mary cried and forgave me
Mary took me back again
She said if I wanted my freedom
I could be free evermore
But I don't want to be and I don't want to see
Mary cry anymore

Devil woman
Devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
Just leave me alone
I want to go home

Mary is waiting and weeping
Down in our shack by the sea
Even after I hurt her
Mary's still in love with me
Devil woman, it's over
Trapped no more by your charms
Just I don't want to stay, I want to get away
Women let go of my arms

Devil woman, devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
Just leave me alone
I want to go home

Devil woman, you're evil
Like the dark coral reef
Like the winds that bring high tides
You bring sorrow and grief
You made me ashamed to face Mary
Barely had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell

Oh, devil woman
Devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home

I'm running along to the seashore
Running as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy
Glad I'm coming home again
Never again would I ever
Cause another tear to fall
Down the beach I see what belongs to me
The one I want most of all

Oh, devil woman
Devil woman, don't call me
Devil woman, let me be
And leave me alone
I'm going back home
