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.
Chorus
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 our shack by the sea.
Even after I've hurt her, Mary's still in love with me.
Devil woman it's over, I'm trapped no more by your charms.
Cause I don't wanna stay, I wanna get away, woman let go of my arm.
Chorus
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me.
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna 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, I barely had the strength to tell..
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell.
Chorus
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me.
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home.
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.
Chorus
Oh, devil woman, devil woman don't follow me.
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I'm goin' back home.
