I was a traveller long ago
Trying to find me a woman to love
I'm gettin tired of the ones I know
Asking for guidance from the Lord above
And then a fine lady walked my way
She started talking bout nickels and dimes
I didn't know about the tricks she'd play
I didn't know at the time
I didn't know at the time
She's got eyes of the devil
Eyes of the devil babe
Well she's got eyes of the devil
Eyes of the devil babe
She took away all my material possessions
She even stole my soul
Little did I know that she would teach me a lesson
And cage me in a prison of gold
I didn't know at the time
I didn't know at the time
She's got eyes of the devil
Eyes of the devil babe
Well she's got eyes of the devil
Eyes of the devil babe
