Devil Woman

Marty Robbins · The Essential Marty Robbins [Columbia] [2005]

I told Mary about us, I told her about a great sin

Mary cried and forgave me then Mary took me back again

Said if I wanted my freedom I could be free ever more

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

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 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 your 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, Mary 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 let go of me

Devil woman don't follow me and leave me alone

I going back home...
