I told Mary about us I told her about our great sin Mary cried and forgave me Then 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 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
