I told Mary about us, 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 want to be and I don't want to see Mary cry anymore

Oh, devil woman, devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home

Mary is waitin' and weepin' down in our shack by the sea
Even after I've hurt her, Mary' still in love with me
Devil woman, it's over, trapped no more by your charms
'Cause I don't want to stay, I want to get away, women let go of my arms

Oh, devil woman, devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
And leave me alone
I want to 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, barely had the strength to tell
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell

Oh, devil woman, devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be
And leave me alone
I want to go home

Runnin' along by the seashore, runnin' 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, don't follow me
Devil woman, let me be
And leave me alone
I'm going back home
