Dickey Lee Devil Woman lyrics

I told Mary about us, I told her about our great sin
Mary cried and forgave me and Mary took me back again
Said if I wanted my freedom I could be free evermore
But I don't wanna be and I don't wanna see Mary cry anymore
Oh devil woman, devil woman let go of me
Devil woman, let me be and leave me alone, I wanna go home

Mary is waitin' and weepin' down in her 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
Yes, I don't wanna stay, I wanna get away, woman
Let go of my arm, oh devil woman

Devil woman, you're evil like the dark coral reef

Like the winds that bring high tide, you bring sorrow and grief
You made me ashamed to face Mary, I barely had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell, oh devil woman

Running alone by the seashore, running as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy, glad I'm coming 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, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be and leave me alone, I'm going back home
