Lyrics

[00:18.57] The fortune queen of new orleans
[00:21.88] Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
[00:27.12] On the back seat were scratches
[00:29.19] From the marks of men her fortune she had won
[00:36.82] Couldnt see through the tinted glass
[00:40.00] She said home james and he hit the gas
[00:45.06] I followed her to some darkened room
[00:48.32] She took my money she said Ill be with you soon
[00:57.00] Dark lady laughed and danced
[00:59.25] And lit the candles one by one
[01:03.44] Danced to her gypsy music
[01:05.81] Till her brew was done
[01:09.85] Dark lady played black magic
[01:12.10] Till the clock struck on the twelve
[01:16.23] She told me more about me
[01:18.54] Than I knew myself
[01:22.21] She dealt two cards a queen and a three
[01:25.04] And mumbled some words
[01:26.85] That were so strange to me
[01:30.54] Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
[01:33.73] My eyes saw red but the card
[01:36.10] Still stayed black
[01:40.53] She said the man you love is secretly true
[01:43.65] To someone else who is very close to you
[01:48.89] My advice is that you leave this place
[01:52.06] Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
[02:00.60] Dark lady laughed and danced
[02:02.90] And lit the candles one by one
[02:07.10] Danced to her gypsy music
[02:09.46] Till her brew was done
[02:13.49] Dark lady played black magic
[02:15.86] Till the clock struck on the twelve
[02:19.92] She told me more about me
[02:22.34] Than I knew myself
[02:26.03] So I ran home and crawled in my bed
[02:29.15] I couldnt sleep because of all the things she said
[02:34.27] Then I remembered her strange perfume
[02:37.72] And how I smelled it once in my own room
[02:44.21] So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
[02:47.43] Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
[02:52.43] The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
[02:55.55] Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
[03:04.21] Dark lady laughed and danced
[03:06.46] And lit the candles one by one
[03:10.65] Danced to her gypsy music
[03:12.95] Till her brew was done
[03:17.08] Dark lady played black magic
[03:19.45] Till the clock struck on the twelve
