Lyrics
When I were 19 I split the scene, went ta bookin' up to New Orleans
She were black and pretty as I ever seen, a Creole Voodoo queen,
and she got me with her Gris Gris
got me with her Gris Gris
got me with her Gris Gris
She were the great-granddaughter of Marie Laveau
Shehad a fire in her eye and a fire down below
That gypsy woman throw a hell-of-a show
Musta had a black cat bone
and she got me with her Gris Gris
she got me with her Gris Gris
she got me with her Gris Gris
Went dancin' in a circle in a bonfire light
down in the swamp in the middle of the night
that gypsy woman really done me right...
