The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat, 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"
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles, one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
'Til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
'Til the clock struck on the 12
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
And 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"
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles, one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
'Til her brew was gone
Dark lady played black magic
'Til the clock struck on the 12
She told me more about me
Than I knew myself
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
How I smelled, it was in my own room
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing, 'til 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
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles, one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
'Til her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
'Til the clock struck on the 12
She told me more
