Allman Brothers Band - Sailin’ ’cross The Devil’s Sea lyrics

By gregg allman, warren haynes, allen woody, jack pearson<br>Copyright 1994 sony music entertainment, inc.<br><br>Transcribed by ed luskey<br>Lately I don't know where I went wrong,<br>But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong,<br>Between her fine perfume and angel face,<br>My whole world became another place.<br>The dark side of her intelligence was so strong,<br>Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong.<br>Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door.<br>I could not wait to hear the siren song,<br>The beginning of the end of my happy home.<br>Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo,<br>Too blind in love, too blind to see.<br>Heard them say the payback's double-fold,<br>Just can't seem to remember who I bought and sold.<br>I'll probably still be here when you come around next year,<br>Trying to climb from this deep dark hole.<br>I'll be damned if I just don't feel I'm growin' old.<br>Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,<br>Too blind in love, too blind to see.<br>Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox,<br>Set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop.<br>If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul,<br>Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door.<br>Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,<br>Too blind in love, too blind to see.
