Marty Robbins - Devil Woman Lyrics

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

Mary just 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 alone in our shack by the sea

Even after I hurt her, Mary' still in love with me

Devil woman, it's over, trapped no more by your charms

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 so ashamed to face Mary, barely had the strength to tell

Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell.

Devil woman, devil woman, let go of me

Devil woman, let me be

Just leave me alone,

I want to go home.
