Black 47 - Voodoo City Lyrics
Paddy came down to Voodoo CityMet a lady on Bourbon StreetShe was dark, she was beautifulSwept that boy right off his feetRunnin' from the man in New York CityI fled down south to beat the chillBut the Ice Man had me in his sightsFor one too many unpaid billsOh oh oh oh voodoo cityOh oh oh oh voodoo worldOh oh oh oh voodoo cityFor God sakes keep your hands off my voodoo girlMarie Laveau was the lady in questionI fell beneath her crescent spellNights spent drinkin' in the QuarterSoon turned into a living hellShe said she knew how to protect meFrom all the evil in my pastBut New York is not scorned so easyIceman tracked me down at lastOh oh oh oh voodoo cityOh oh oh oh voodoo worldOh oh oh oh voodoo cityFor God sakes keep your hands off my voodoo girlMoonlight on the lazy riverMist around the old gaslightHeard his footsteps on Toulouse StreetDisappear into the creole nightCandle waver on the altarMarie, she dance on the ***** floorFlame light up her sacred bodyI hear a key turn in the doorI scream at her "you have betrayed me"The hurt explodes inside her eyesShe throws herself across my bodyThe bullet chokes her voodoo criesA raven rises from her bodyThe Iceman stares in disbeliefI crash through her garret windowRace like fire down Bourbon Street
