Well I took me a river boat from Memphis and I rode to New Orleans
I met up with a little cayenne mama,
said she'd like to by my Delta queen.
But there's one thing I forgot to tell you,
There's one thing you should know
Said, "My mama was a voodoo princess and my heart beats black like coal."
- REPEAT -
Well she made me some black magic gumbo and some voodoo etoufe'.
Said "Once you taste my cookin' boy, gonna steal your heart away"
But there's one thing I forgot to tell you,
Yeah there's one I thing you should know
She said "Now once you taste my baby's cookin',
It's gonna turn your heart black like coal."
- REPEAT 2x -
Now she took me a little walk down the bayou on a lover's rendevouz.
Said "take my hand little cajun man, gonna do the thing lovers do"
But there's one thing I forgot to tell you,
Yeah there's one thing you should know
She said "Mmhmm mmhmmm ooh ooh ooh. Mmhmm mmhmm hmm."
- REPEAT -
Now this ain't hardly no story,
Well it's barely even worth the tell.
But ya ramble around in a Delta town,
You're sure to lose yourself.
But there's one thing I forgot to tell you,
Yeah, there's one thing I forgot to tell
I said, now don't you go messin' with no voodoo mama
She'll take you straight to hell.
- REPEAT 3x -
