[00:17.90]The fortune queen of New Orleans
[00:21.43]Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
[00:26.75]On the backseat were scratches from
[00:29.40]The marks of men, her fortune she had won
[00:36.42]Couldn't see through the tinted glass
[00:39.52]She said, "Home, James" and he hit the gas
[00:44.65]I followed her to some darkened room
[00:47.92]She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
[00:52.85]🎵
[00:56.66]Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
[01:02.80]Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
[01:09.49]Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12
[01:15.45]She told me more about me than I knew myself
[01:22.08]She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
[01:25.09]And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
[01:30.15]And then she turned up a two-eyed jack
[01:33.54]My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
[01:40.04]She said, "The man you love is secretly true
[01:43.24]To someone else who is very close to you
[01:48.34]My advice is that you leave this place
[01:52.18]Never come back and forget you ever saw my face"
[02:00.24]Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
[02:06.61]Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
[02:12.97]Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the twelve
[02:19.52]She told me more about me than I knew myself
[02:25.82]So, I ran home and crawled in my bed
[02:28.74]I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
[02:33.76]Then I remembered her strange perfume
[02:36.88]And how I smelled, it was in my own room
[02:43.79]And so, I sneaked back and caught her with my man
[02:46.68]Laughing and kissing 'til they saw the gun in my hand
[02:52.02]The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
[02:55.12]Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
[03:04.08]Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
[03:10.18]Danced to her gypsy music 'til her brew was done
[03:16.70]Dark lady played black magic 'til the clock struck on the 12
