Mary goin down to a wicked town
Gonna find a cat that she can drown
She got a bag from the lost and found
She said it’s gonna hold your weight
Old Tom Crow was a wretched soul
Swore to the devil he never would go
Down to Mary with a seed to sew
But he’s gonna find her anyway
So hot, so hot, pieces of my broken heart
He gone down pay the dues to the devil
The devil got to play his part
Bonnie was a cat who heard Tom Crow flying outside her big window
She leaned out just to let him know, “Boy you gotta come my way”
Tommy the crow had met his match
Bonnie purred then gave him a scratch
He went to Mary with a plan to hatch
To put that Bonnie in her place
So hot, so hot, pieces of my broken heart
He gone down pay the dues to the devil
The devil got to play his part
Mary threw that little cat in the river
Tommy gonna be the one to feed her fever
Tommy thought the devil was an Indian giver
But he’s coming to collect his pay
The devil he took Tom’s very soul
Left poor Mary with none to hold
The ghost of Bonnie bubbled up from the cold
Hauntin Mary to this very day
So hot, so hot, pieces of my broken heart
He gone down pay the dues to the devil
The devil got to play his part
So hot, so hot, pieces of my broken heart
I killed for a love that I lost to the devil
It’s tearing my soul apart
I killed for a love that I lost to the devil
It’s tearing my soul apart
