DEVIL WOMAN (Marty Robbins) MARTY ROBBINS (COLUMBIA 42486, 1962) I told Mary about us Told her about a great sin Mary cried and forgave me And Mary took me back again 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 Oh devil woman Devil woman let go of me Devil woman let me be And leave me alone I want to go home Mary is waitin' and weepin' Down in our shack by the sea Even after I've hurt her Mary's still in love with me Devil woman it's over Trap no more by your charm 'Cause I don't want to stay I want to get away Woman let go of my arm Oh devil woman Devil woman let go of me Devil woman let me be And leave me alone I want to go home Devil woman, you're evil Like the dark coral reef Like the winds that bring high tide You bring sorrow and grief 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 Running along by the seashore Running as fast as I can Even the seagulls are happy Glad I'm coming home again Never again will 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 follow me Devil woman let me be And leave me alone I'm going back home |
