Sailin' 'Cross the Devil's Sea - The Allman Brothers Band

Lately I don’t know where I went wrong

But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong

Between her fine perfume and angel face

My whole world became another place

The dark side of her intelligence was so strong

Soon there’ll be no difference in right or wrong

Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door

I could not wait to hear the siren song

The beginning of the end of my happy home

Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil’s sea

Too blind in love, too blind to see

Heard them say the payback’s double-fold

Just can’t seem to remember who I bought and sold

I’ll probably still be here when you come around next year

Trying to climb from this deep dark hole

I’ll be damned if I just don’t feel I’m growing old

Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil’s sea

Too blind in love, too blind to see

Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox

Set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won’t seem to stop

If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul

Swear I’ll leave and not come back, just let me out that door

Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil’s sea

Too blind in love, too blind to see
