"The fortune queen of New Orleans..."

The fortune queen of New Orleans,

Was brushing her cat in her black limousine

On the backseat were scratches from

The marks of men her fortune she had won

Couldn't see through the tinted glass,

She said "Home James" and he hit the gas

I Followed her to some darkened room,

She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"



[CHORUS:]

Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one

Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done

Dark Lady played black magic till the clock struck on the
twelve

She told me more about me than I knew myself



She dealt two cards, a queen and a three

And mumbled some words that were so strange to me

Then she turned up a two-eyed jack,

My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black

She said the man you love is secretly true

To someone else who is very close to you

My advice is that you leave this place,

Never come back and forget you ever saw my face



[CHORUS]



So I ran home and crawled in my bed,

I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said

Then I remembered her strange perfume,

And how I smelled it was in my own room!

So I sneaked back and caught her with my man,

Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand

The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor,

Dark Lady would never turn a card up anymore



[CHORUS]
