J. J. Cale: "Devil's Nurse" Lyrics

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
