Well, the light's turnin' gray, nearly eve'ry day   Come a walkin' into town and try to find the way   Well, I've only got a nickel, got to score myself a dime   And try to make it 'til tomorrow, buy a little more time      Evil woman, evil woman   Evil woman      Well, my damsel she's a woman with coal black hair   Don't you look her in her eye when she starts to stare   'Cause her beauty drive you crazy   And her potions steal your soul   No matter how you beg her she don't ever let you go   Well, you can cry, you can plead   It won't help you none   She'll keep you in the shadows, never see the sun   Try to run, try to hide   Find a place to stay   No matter where you go you can't get away      Evil woman, evil woman   Evil woman, oh      For evil woman set my life free   I can't go on livin' this way, no   Evil woman set my life free   Pullin' me down, down   I can't go on this way   Down, down my head will go against the floor again   Down, down my head will go against the floor again   Down, down I can't go on this way   Down, down my head will go again   Down, down I can't go on this way   Down, down my head will go again   Down, down I can't go on this way   Down, down my head will go again   Down, down I can't go on this way   Down, down, down      Well, the light's turnin' gray   Nearly ev'ry day   Come a walkin' into town   Try to find my way   I said I only got a nickel   Got to score myself a dime   Try to make it 'til tomorrow   Buy a little more time   My damsel she's a woman with coal black hair   Don't you look her in her eye when she starts to stare   'Cause her beauty drive you crazy   And her potions steal your soul   No matter how you beg her she don't ever let you go      Evil woman, evil woman   Evil woman
