The Devil's Triangle

Old Joseph tried to tell me

He said, "Boy, you've been warned

A hurricane hath no fury

Like a mermaid scorned"

Once you set that sail

You got to try to steer her true

'Cause you can't have your ale and drink it too

Remember when I first stared

Into your sexy sea-green eyes

I thought you hung that Havana moon

And the Southern Cross in the sky

Then she came along

And spun my head around

Now I'm drowning in this whirlpool of love

It's pulling me down

It's the devil's triangle

You and me and she

It's a whole different angle

'Cause two and one make three

The devil's triangle

Ain't much of a mystery

It's just one hell of a tango

Lord have mercy on me

I remember what that old man told me

'Bout swimming against the tide

To try to have two to hold me

Was just a one way ride

Like a paddle wheeler and a whaler

Soon they'll both be gone

And I swear by my tattooed sailor

It's a living hell to die alone

It's the devil's triangle

You and me and she

It's a whole different angle

'Cause two and one make three

The devil's triangle

Ain't much of a mystery

It's just one hell of a tango

Lord have mercy on me

Here we are lost out on the sea

It can't be me with her

It's got to be you with me

The devil's triangle

You and me and she

It's a whole different angle

'Cause two and one make three

The devil's triangle

Ain't much of a mystery

It's just one hell of a tango

Lord have mercy on me

The devil's triangle

You and me and she

It's a whole different angle

'Cause two and one make three
