The Allman Brothers Band Sailin' 'cross the Devil's Sea lyrics

Lately I don't know where I went wrong
But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong
Between her fine perfume and angel face
My whole world became another place

The dark side of her intelligence was so strong
Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong
Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door
I could not wait to hear the siren song
The beginning of the end of my happy home

Now I'm sailing, sailing 'cross The Devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see

Heard them say, "The pay back's double fold"
I just can't seem to remember who I bought and sold
Well I'll probably still be here when you come around next year

Tryin' to climb from this deep dark hole
I'll be damned if I just don't feel I'm growin' old

I'm sailing, sailing 'cross The Devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see

She was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox
Set me up with pain and woe and I swear it won't seem to stop
If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul
Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door

I'm sailing, sailing 'cross The Devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see
