Royal Crown Revue - Port-Au-Prince (Travels With Bettie Page) Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Small town beauty baby
  • Would-be movie queen
  • In '47, it seemed like heaven
  • Time to take it overseas
  • She beat it to the island
  • Of rum, romance and dreams
  • But Papa Doc's old choppin' block
  • Soon was gonna change the scene
  • Peering through the midnight vines
  • The pointed knives and the painted faces smile
  • Demon rum and beating drums
  • Untie the beast that's been there all her life
  • And all the while...
  • Winding through the curves in a big convertible
  • Trying to hide her eyes from the Haitian sun
  • But he left you cold in a blue eyed trance, girl
  • You better run now 'cause you gonna get no second chance
  • In Port-au-Prince
  • Crooked jet set livin'
  • With gold-toothed diplomats
  • Umbrella drinks, the whole thing stinks
  • Flipped a switch and that was that
  • Hey dark-hair Yankee lady
  • Please to suivez-moi
  • I look into that big cat's eyes and
  • I know what you come here for
  • Peering through the midnight vines...
  • Too bad little Bettie
  • But know it's time to leave
  • Your Yankee clout has just run out
  • They're gunnin' in the street
  • Crowded prop plane hummin'
  • Bound for NYC
  • The voodoo rite she saw that night
  • Baby how it set you free
