I. Buddy Wayne Knox (July 20, 1933 - February 14, 1999) was an American singer and songwriter best known for his 1957 rockabilly hit song, "Party Doll".
Knox was born in the tiny farming community of Happy, Texas and as a boy learned to play the guitar. In his teens, he and some high school friends formed a band called the "Rhythm Orchids." After performing on the same 1956 radio show as fellow Texan Roy Orbison and his "Teen Kings" band, Orbison suggested Knox go see record producer Norman Petty at his studio in Clovis, New Mexico.
Knox recorded three songs at Petty's studio, most notably "Party Doll" that later was released on the Roulette label and went to No.1 on the Cash Box magazine music chart in 1957. This success was followed by "Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep", a top 20 hit, and "Hula Love", a top 10 hit. While he never achieved the same level of artistic success, Buddy Knox enjoyed a long career in music. For his pioneering contribution, Knox was elected to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. "Party Doll" was voted one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
In May 1969, Buddy Knox appeared at Langley Speedway (British Columbia) in Langley, British Columbia, Canada and assisted in handing out trophies to the race winners.
A lifelong user of cigarettes, Buddy Knox died of lung cancer in 1999 in Bremerton, Washington. He is interred in Dreamland Cemetery, in Canyon, Texas.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm married to a devil gal
Do me wrong devil woman
Do me wrong devil gal
Well, one more time believe me, baby
One more time and you go away
Do me wrong
Well I love her sweet and I love her simple
Our love is off every day
Love is soft and lovin' her tender
Then she does be this way
Every day I day a little, every night I wild away
Do me wrong devil woman
One more time and you go away
Well the more and more I love you baby
More and more you this way
Do me wrong
One more time and you go away
Well, one more time believe me, baby
One more time you runnin' play
Do me wrong devil woman
One more time and you go away
Well I love her sweet and I love her simple
Our love is off every day
Love is soft and lovin' her tender
Then she does be this way
Every day I day a little, every night I wild away
Do me wrong devil woman
One more time and you go away
Well the more and more I love you baby
More and more you this way
Do me wrong devil woman
One more time and you go away
The song "Devil Woman" by Buddy Knox describes the frustration and desperation of being married to a woman who is unpredictable and capable of doing wrong. The singer is pleading with his wife not to do him wrong one more time or else she will go away. He loves her yet finds himself falling apart day by day and night by night. The lyrics portray a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty in the relationship, as the singer is unsure of where he stands with his devil woman. This song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of being with someone who is not trustworthy and can bring chaos to one's life.
