[00:05.61]The fortune queen of [00:06.03]New Orleans [00:06.30]Was brushing her cat in her black limousine [00:11.31]On the back seat were scratches [00:12.87]From the marks of men her fortune she had won [00:20.04]Couldn't see through the tinted glass [00:22.80]She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas [00:27.60]I followed her to some darkened room [00:30.54]She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon" [00:33.69]CHORUS: Dark lady laughed and danced [00:34.77]And lit the candles one by one [00:35.46]Danced to her gypsy music [00:38.55]Till her brew was done [00:39.03]Dark lady played black magic [00:39.75]Till the clock struck on the twelve [00:40.47]She told me more about me [00:40.98]Than I knew myself [00:41.64]She dealt two cards, a queen and a three [00:42.72]And mumbled some words [00:43.26]That were so strange to me [00:44.91]Then she turned up a two-eyed jack [00:45.78]My eyes saw red but the card [00:46.35]Still stayed black [00:46.71]She said the man you love is secretly true [00:47.64]To someone else who is very close to you [00:48.60]My advice is that you leave this place [00:50.70]Never come back and forget you ever saw my face [00:51.84]Chorus So [00:52.11]I ran home and crawled in my bed [00:52.86]I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said [00:53.88]Then I remembered her strange perfume [00:55.17]And how I smelled it once in my own room [00:56.94]So I sneaked back and caught her with my man [00:57.78]Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand [00:59.13]The next thing [00:59.49]I knew they were dead on the floor [01:00.27]Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore [01:01.50]Chorus
