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 ever more
But I don't wanna be, and I don't wanna see
Mary cry any more

CHORUS:
Oh devil woman, devil woman don't hold me
Devil woman, let me be
And leave me alone I wanna go home

Mary is waiting and weeping 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 wanna stay, I wanna get away
Woman let go of my arm

Repeat Chorus

Devil woman you're evil like the dark coral reef
Like the winds that bring high times
You bring sorrow and grieve
Make me ashamed to face Mary,
I barely had the strenght to tell
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back
Mary has broken your spell

Repeat chorus

Running along at the seashore, running as fast as I can
Even the seagulls are happy, glad I'm comming 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 hold me
Devil woman let me be
And leave me alone I'm going back home
