hillbilly hellcats - gypsy queen lyrics
down in new orleans in a shack by the water
my future found me in the shadows of the quarter
fell down an alley off of bourbon street
i was growin’ half crazy from the crowds and the heat
coulda been the spell of the hurricane
when a voice from the dark whispered my name
slipped down a hallway to a dark back room
heard a phantom in the dark sing a gypsy tune
chorus:
bon ton rouler and a voulez-vouz
life in the quarter could be strange and cruel
bad luck to talk about the things i’ve seen
there’s no one meaner than the gypsy queen
i laughed out loud when she spoke of luck
reached in my pocket for my twenty bucks
i didn’t recognize the letters she wrote
’round a five sided star with the head of a goat
she read my palm and she told me that
in my future was the name lestat
then she finished and i had to go
next stop the grave of marie lavoux
chorus.
went to the graveyard just about midnight
i saw somethin’ flyin’ in the pale moonlight
next thing i was wakin’ and i felt my neck
there were two little lumps that were kinda wet
since that day, i live for the night
i glide the alleys away from the light
there’s only one way that i’ll ever depart
that’s when i leave with a stake in my heart
chorus.
