Devil Woman Songtext
von Marty Robbins

I told Mary about us
I told her about our 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
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
Trapped no more by your charms
'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 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


Runnin′ along by the seashore
Runnin' as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy
Glad I′m comin' 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 goin' back home
