[Verse 1]
The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat 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
Followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
[Chorus]
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 twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself
[Verse 2]
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"
