[Verse 1]
It was Amuggy July around Gsupper time, When I Dpulled into New Orleans, I Agot dropped off at South GRampart Street, I was Dhungry for a plate of greens.
[Verse 2]
I mAade my way down the Gbanquette, Where I could Dsee an open door, And Aoverhead a sign made of Gpainted pine read, The DDixie Drug Store.
[Verse 3]
APeppers and roots were Ghanging, From the Drafters above, There were Aoils and sprays Gall on display, For Dmoney luck and for love.
[Verse 4]
AI reached down to Gpick one up, When a Ddark hand grabbed my arm, And befAore I could see jGust who it was, She said Dyou don't want that charm.
[Hook]
(AOooGoh JambaDlaya).
[Verse 5] A N.C. The last man to walk that thing out of here, N.C. Just up and disappeared,
Found his Awallet and his Gwingtip shoes, Near a Dtombstone down in Algiers.
[Verse 6]
AWhat you need my Gtravelling friend, Is a Dplace to wash your jeans, And I Awouldn't be the Gleast surprised, If you were Dhungry for a plate of greens.
[Verse 7]
She Abeckoned me on Gup the stairs, For she'd Ddone made up her mind, Said Atake off your hat and Gkick off your boots, And Dleave your pride behind.
[Hook] A G D
(AOooGoh JambaDlaya). A G D
[Verse 8]
She Atook me down to a Gsecret place, In the Dbayou of her blankets, A N.C. She offered to share her bourbon, N.C. I thanked her, N.C. Then I drank it.
[Verse 9]
Through a Asmall crack in the Gceiling, Burst the DLouisiana moon, It Ashone down on our Gbodies, And Dwe began to croon.
[Verse 10]
Like a Acouple of coGyotes, We were Dhowling thru the night, And I Aswear they were a Gbeatin' those, DConga drums outside.
[Hook]
(AOooGoh JambaDlaya).
[Verse 11]
We Alaughed until the Gmornin', By Dthen my pants had dried, I Apicked up my hat and Gpulled on my boots, And I Dgathered up my pride.
[Verse 12]
I Afigured she had Gdone stepped out, I didn't Dsee her anywhere, And AI set out to Gfind her, I Dheaded on downstairs.
[Verse 13]
AGot down to the Gbottom, I couldn't beDlieve my eyes, AGone were all the Gbottles, And the Dremedy supplies.
[Hook]
(AOooGoh JambaDlaya).
[Verse 14]
I Ashouted out for GMarie, I Ddarted out the door, An Aold man on the Gwooden porch said, DWhat you in there for.
[Verse 15]
ASon you got no Gbusiness, The Dhoodoo store's been closed, ALong as I reGmember, A Dcentury I suppose.
[Verse 16]
But AMister I just Gspent the night, With a Dyoung girl named Laveau, He Asaid the Widow GParis, Done Dhad a little laugh on you.
[Verse 17]
I Asaid you mean to Gtell me, That Dwas the voodooin', He Anodded yes none Gother, The DQueen of New Orleans.
