Pat Green Lyrics
"Louisiana Song"

I took me a river boat from Memphis and I rode to New Orleans
Met up with a little cayenne mamma
She said she'd like to be my Delta queen
She said, "There's one thing I forgot to tell you
Yeah, there's one thing you should know"

She said, "My mamma was a voodoo princess
And my heart beats black like coal"
Well, she made up some black magic gumbo
And some voodoo etoufe'

She said, "Once you taste my cookin' boy
It's gonna steal your heart away"
She said, "There's one more thing I forgot to tell you
Yeah, there's one thing that you should know"

She said, "Once you taste my baby's cookin'
It's gonna turn your heart black like coal
Now she took me on a little walk down the bayou
On a lover's rendezvous

She said, "Take my hand, little Cajun man
Gonna do the thing lovers do
Now there's one thing I forgot to tell you
Yeah, there's one thing you should know"

She said, "Oh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Mmm, mmm, mm, mm, mmm"
Now this ain't hardly no story
Yeah, it's barely even worth the tell
But you ramble around in a Delta town

You're sure to lose yourself
And there's one thing I forgot to tell you
Yeah, there's one thing I forgot to tell you
I said, "Now don't you go messin' with no voodoo mamma
She take you straight to hell"
