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"
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 back 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
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 back magic till
the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I
knew myself
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
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 back magic till
the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I
knew myself
