| [00:25.99] | I had a melancholy malady |
| [00:29.38] | Went to see the doctor and the doctor say |
| [00:32.92] | Too bad, nothin' he could do |
| [00:36.60] | He knew a man in Louisiana if I’m willin' to pay |
| [00:40.88] | Laid my money on the barrelhead |
| [00:43.37] | Man behind the bar began to shimmy and shake |
| [00:46.72] | Can't lie, I reckoned I was dead |
| [00:50.10] | When he picked my money up and I heard him say |
| [03:03.94][02:49.62][01:53.06][00:53.94] | Meet me in the alleyway minute to midnight |
| [03:07.62][02:53.15][01:55.94][00:59.33] | Don't be late meet me in the alleyway |
| [03:12.86][02:58.33][02:01.42][01:04.70] | Better come runnin' the spirits won't wait |
| [01:22.38] | Thirteen tiger teeth in my talisman |
| [01:26.02] | St. John the Conqueror and a black cat bone |
| [01:29.35] | Been seen walkin' with the guardians |
| [01:32.89] | Now I’m in the alley and I’m all alone |
| [01:36.93] | Can't run, can't hide from destiny |
| [01:39.91] | Knew this day was callin' nearly all of my life |
| [01:43.15] | Been done ain't the only boy from Tennessee |
| [01:46.88] | To carve his name in cypress with a jawbone knife |
| [02:33.28] | So you wanna be the king of America |
| [02:37.12] | Say you wanna know the oracle's mind |
| [02:40.80] | Say you wanna see the Marquesses of Mardi Gras |
| [02:44.19] | dancin' with the devil at the end of the line |
