Devil woman you're evil, like the dark coral reef.

Like the winds that bring high tides, you bring sorrow and grief.

Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell.

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:
G G7 C C7
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me.
G G7 C
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I’m going back home.
There is a You Tube performance of Marty Robbins performing this song. http://
youtu.be/eT88zD912Xo You can see his fourth finger rests pretty steadily on the
3rd fret(realitive to the capo) on the E(6) string for a high G. He strums with
his thumb and picks that high G. Sounds really nice.
