| The fortune queen of new orleans | |
| Was brushing her cat in her black limousine | |
| On the back seat 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" | |
| Chorus: | |
| 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 black 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 | |
| Chorus | |
| 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 once 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 | |
| Chorus |
