lyrics

New Orleans Is Calling Me
copyright T R Munday

New Orleans was calling me
The pull to go was strong
New Orleans was calling me
Although it felt so wrong

I met a hoo-doo woman there
As soon as I arrived
I met a hoo-doo woman there
A witch with golden eyes

She said I was the seventh
Of the seven sons
She said I was the seventh
And that my time had come

She said she could see the future
And that she knew my past
She said she could see the future
In a looking glass

Her hair was black as ravens' wings
Her shawl was the same way
Her hair was black as ravens' wings
With just one streak of grey

Her hands were thin and boney
Her nose was like a beak
Her hands were thin and boney
As she caressed my cheek

She promised luck and fortune
And also wealth and fame
She promised luck and furtune
If I praised her master's name

The Devil was her master
He'd bargain for my soul
The Devil was her master
That's what I was told

I listened on in horror
To what she had to say
I listened on in horror
Till I tore myself away

New Orleans' still calling me
The pull to go is strong
New Orleans's still calling me
Although I know it's wrong
