     DEVIL WOMAN     Marty Robbins

E                                              B
I told Mary about it I Told her about a great sin
B                                                   E
Mary cried and forgave me  Then Mary took me back again
E                                                  A
Said if I wanted my freedom  I could be free ever more
                     E
But I don't want to be  And I don't want to see
B           E
Mary cry anymore

                  B
Chorus:  Oh DEVIL WOMAN
                         E
         DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
                     B
         DEVIL WOMAN let me be

         And leave me alone
           E
         I want to go home


Mary is waiting and weeping
Down in our shack by the sea
Even after I hurt her
Mary's still in love with me
DEVIL WOMAN it's over
Trapped no more by your charm
Cause I don't want to stay
I want to get away
Woman let go of my arm

(Repeat Chorus)

DEVIL WOMAN your 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
Mary had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black
Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell

(Repeat Chorus)

Running along 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

CODA:    Oh DEVIL WOMAN
         DEVIL WOMAN let go of me
         DEVIL WOMAN don't follow me
         And leave me alone
         I want to go home
