Intro: B A E
B A E
It was muggy July, around supper time when I pulled into New Orleans
B A E
I got dropped off at South Rampart Street, I was hungry for a plate of=20
greens
B A E=09
I made my down the banquette where I could see an open door
An overhead sign made of painted pine read =91The Dixie Drug Store=92
Peppers and roots were hangin=92 from the rafters above
There oils and sprays all on display, for money, luck and for love
I reached down to pick one up but a dark hand grabbed my arm
And before I could see just who it was, she said "You don=92t want that=
=20
charm."
"The last man to walk that thing outta here just up and disappeared."
"They found his wallet and his wing-tip shoes near a tombstone down in=20
Algiers."
"What you need my travelin=92 friend is a place to wash your jeans,"=20
"And I wouldn=92t be the least surprised if you were hungry for a plate o=
=92=20
greens."
She beckoned me on up the stairs =91cause she=92d done made up her mind
She said: "Take off your hat and kick off your boots and leave your pride=
=20
behind."
She took me down to a secret place in the bayou of her blankets
She offered to share her bourbon, I thanked her then I drank it
Through a small crack in the ceiling burst the Louisiana moon
It shone down on our bodies and we began to croon
Like a couple o=92 coyotes we were howlin=92 through the night
And I swear they were beatin=92 those congo drums outside
We laughed until the morning, by then my pants had dried
I picked up my hat and pulled on my boots and I gathered up my pride
I figured she had done slipped out, I couldn=92t see her anywhere
And I set out to find her and I headed on downstairs
I got down to the bottom and I couldn=92t believe my eyes: gone were all=20
the bottles and the remedy supplies
I shouted out for Mary, I darted out the door
An old man on the wooden porch said: "What you in there for?"
"Son, you got no business, the hoodoo store=92s been closed. Long as I=20
remember, a century I suppose."
" But, mister, I just spent the night with a young girl named Laveau."
He said: "The widow Paris done had a little laugh on you."
I said: "You mean to tell me that was the Voodooin'?"
He nodded, "Yes, none other - the Queen o=92 New Orleans."
