DEVIL WOMAN / SOUTH OF THE BORDER 33/138 Marty Robbins Kennedy - Carr 21/180 E A B7 I told Mary about us, told her about our great sin Mary just cried and forgave me, Mary took me back again She 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. CHORUS: Devil woman, devil woman, let go of me Devil woman, let me be Just leave me alone, I want to go home. Mary is waiting and weeping alone in our shack by the sea Even after I hurt her, Mary' still in love with me Devil woman, it's over, trapped no more by your charms I don't want to stay, I want to get away, woman let go of my arms. CHORUS: 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 so ashamed to face Mary, barely had the strength to tell Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell. CHORUS: South of the border down Mexico way, That's where I fell in love when stars above came out to play. And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray, South of the border down Mexico way. She was a picture, in old Spanish lace, Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face. For it was fiesta and we were so gay, South of the border down Mexico way. Then she sighed as she whispered manana Never dreaming that we were to part, And I lied as I whispered manana, For tomorrow I was to depart. South of the border I rode back one day, There in a veil of white by candle light she knelt to pray, The mission bells told me, that I mustn't stay, South of the border down Mexico way. Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay! X3
