Devil's Nurse

Down along the palm trees,
In a south kind of bay
There was a young woman,
Walked the beach every day
She had long dark hair
And a high heeled size
She was full in the bosom,
With dark brown eyes
A devil's woman
With the devil's curse
Satan's lady
She was the devil's nurse
Fortune-teller sister
Long and bred
Lay down next to you
And stroke your head
She had a way about her,
It's hard to explain
Brings chills to your body
And blood to your veins
A devil's woman
With the devil's curse
Satan's lady
She was the devil's nurse
She can make the sun rise
And the sun set
And the blues go away
Turn light into darkness
And night into day
She was from a casualty sector,
Lost in the night
A bonafide spiritual lady,
A congo's delight
A devil's woman
With the devil's curse
Satans' lady
She was the Devil's nurse
