Top of the Pop charts in 1962.
[Verse 1]
E B7
I told Mary about us, I told her about our great sin
E
Mary cried and forgave me, and Mary took me back again
E7 A
Said if I wanted my freedom, I could be free evermore
E B7 E
But I don't wanna be, and I don't wanna see, Mary cry anymore
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me
B7 E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home
[Verse 2]
E B7
Mary is waitin' and weepin', down in our shack by the sea
E
Even after I've hurt her, Mary's still in love with me
E7 A
Devil woman it's over, trapped no more by your charms
E B7 E
Cause I don't wanna stay, I wanna get away, woman let go of my arm
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me
B7 E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home
[Verse 3]
E B7
Devil woman you're evil, like the dark coral reef
E
Like the winds that bring high tides, you bring sorrow and grief
E7 A
You made me ashamed to face Mary, barely had the strength to tell
E B7 E
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me
B7 E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home
[Verse 4]
E B7
Running along by the seashore, running as fast as I can
E
Even the seagulls are happy, glad I'm coming home again
E7 A
Never again will I ever, cause another tear to fall
E B7 E
Down the beach I see, what belongs to me, the one I want most of all
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman don't follow me
B7 E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I'm goin' back home
