The Fortune Queen of New Orleans Was brushing her cat in her black limousineIn the backseat were scratches from a box of men her fortune she had wonCouldn't see through the tinted glass She said, Home James, and he hit the gasI followed her to some darkened room She took my money, she said, I'll be with you soonDark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by oneDanced to her gypsy music till the blue was dawnDark Lady played black magic till the clock struck on the twelveShe told me more about me than I knew myselfShe dealt two cards, a queen and a three And mumbled some words that were so strange to meAnd then she turned up a two-eyed jack My eyes saw red but the cards still stayed blackShe said, The man you love is secretly true To someone else who is very close to youMy advice is that you leave this place Never come back and forget you ever saw my faceDark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by oneDanced to her gypsy music till the blue was dawnDark Lady played black magic till the clock struck on the twelveShe told me more about me than I knew myselfSo I ran home and crawled in my bed I couldn't sleep because of all the things she saidThen I remembered her strange perfume And how I smelled it was in my own roomSo I sneaked back and caught her with my man Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my handThe next thing I knew they were dead on the floor Dark Lady would never turn a card up anymoreDark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by oneDanced to her gypsy music till the blue was dawnDark Lady played black magic till the clock struck on the twelve
