Devil Woman
written and recorded by Marty Robbins
 
C                                               G7
I told Mary about us I told her about our great sin
                                                C
Mary cried and forgave me and Mary took me back again
                                    C7          F
Said if I wanted my freedom I could be free evermore
                         C                 G7         C
But I don't wanna be and I don't wanna see Mary cry anymore
 
chorus
      G7                     C
Devil woman   devil woman let go of me
            G7                             C
Devil woman let me be and leave me alone I want to go home
 
                                                    G7
Mary is waitin' and weepin' down in our shack by the sea
                                                   C
Even after I've hurt her Mary's still in love with me
                                      C7      F
Devil woman it's over trapped no more by your charms
               C                               G7                 C
'Cause I don't want to stay I want to get away woman let go of my arm
 
repeat chorus
 
                                            G7
Devil woman you're evil like the dark coral reef
                                                          C
Like the winds that bring high tides you bring sorrow and grief
                                              C7              F
You made me ashamed to face Mary I barely had the strength to tell
                      C                 G7                   C
Skies're not so black Mary took me back Mary has broken your spell
 
repeat chorus
 
                                                   G7
Running along by the seashore running as fast as I can
                                                 C
Even the seagulls are happy glad I'm coming home again
                                     C7       F
Never again will I ever cause another tear to fall
                     C                      G7                 C
Down the beach I see what belongs to me the one I want most of all
 
         G7                       C
Oh devil woman  devil woman don't follow me
            G7                               C
Devil woman let me be and leave me alone I'm going back home
