Lyrics
I got a little gris-gris,
and I put it in a bag
Went to see Mama-Louis,
I wanted you so bad
She said, "you can have the woman,
but you better be sure,
this time the disease
might sweeter than the cure"
She made a little ve-ve
with the sign of a snake
Made a love potion
for me to take
Alligator teeth
and the Devil's Shoestring
Then me and Mama-Louis
sat down and we sing
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
Heat and darkness on the other side
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
I'll be your zombie
You will be my bride
I awoke in the morning,
cold rain on my face
You were beside me
in a desolate place
But the light was around you,
you were clothed in the sun
And I was a child in the arms of Babylon
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
Heat and darkness on the other side
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
I'll be your zombie
You will be my bride
I'm never gonna live
I'm never gonna die
I live across the water
with my Louisiana Bride
So take heed of the story
of Papa Chickenshack
He went walking on the bayou,
he ain't never coming back
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
Taste your milk and honey on the other side
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
I'll be your zombie
You will be my bride
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
Heat and darkness on the other side
Lead on big moon, I'll cross that river
I'll be your zombie
You will be my bride
