Voodoo Queen

Voodoo Queen (Words & music C. Crofts)

Late at night when the moon is high
Don't go takin' no swamp boat ride
Voodoo queen she's gonna be around
She's gonna put you six feet under the ground

Legends say she started to sing
The sound of her voice such an evil thing
She sang out loud, It ain't no lie
"I'll take y'all with me on the day I die"

The day they lay her body down
The hurricane blew away that town
People died and to this day
In Manchac swamp their bodies decay

Way down south where the bayou is deep
The old folks say they hear the dead one speak
Don't go walkin' where the water is wide,
She'll cast no shadow by her side

The day they lay her body down
The hurricane blew away that town
People died and to this day
In Manchac swamp their bodies decay...yeah... And their floatin' away

Way down south where the water is deep
Don't jump right in don't even wet your feet
Spend no time hangin' around coz Julie Brown she gonna drag you down

Legends say she started to sing
The sound of her voice such an eerie thing
She sang out loud - evil eye
I'll take you all with me on the day I die

The day they lay her body down
The hurricane blew away that town
People died and to this day
In Manchac swamp their bodies decay...yeah... And their floatin' away
