"Evil Woman", sometimes titled "Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games with Me)", is a song by Minneapolis–St. Paul–based band Crow, on their 1969 album Crow Music. It reached number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 pop chart and number 65 in Australia.[1]
Covered in 1969 by Black Sabbath and released in England as the band's first single on 2 January 1970, the song also appeared on the original version of the band's self-titled debut album, although it was replaced by its B-side, "Wicked World", on the later, American versions of the album. When the band's debut album started to become successful in the UK, the single was re-released on 26 March 1970.[6]
It was not officially released in North America until 2002, when it was included on the compilation album Symptom of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath 1970–1978. It was later included on another compilation album, "Black Sabbath: The Ultimate Collection", released in 2016.
