The Devil's Triangle

The Devil’s Triangle
(Bertie Higgins, Sonny Limbo)
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 the sail
You’ve got to try to steer her true
‘Cause you can’t have your ale
And drink it too
I 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 helluva tangle
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 the paddle wheeler and the whaler
Soon they’ll both be gone
And I swear by my tattoo, 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 helluva tangle
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
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 helluva tangle
Lord, have mercy on me
