[Incomprehensible] Paddy came down to Voodoo City Met a lady on Bourbon Street She was dark, she was beautiful Swept that boy right off his feet Runnin' from the man in New York City I fled down south to beat the chill But the Iceman had me in his sights For one too many unpaid bills Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo world Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City For God sakes, keep your hands off my Voodoo girl Marie Laveau was the lady in question I fell beneath her crescent spell Nights spent drinkin' in the quarter Soon turned into a living hell She said she knew how to protect me From all the evil in my past But New York is not scorned so easy Iceman tracked me down at last Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo world Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City For God sakes, keep your hands off my Voodoo girl Moonlight on the lazy river Mist around the old gaslight Heard his footsteps on Toulouse Street Disappear into the creole night Candle waver on the altar Marie, she dance on the naked floor Flame light up her sacred body I hear a key turn in the door I scream at her, "You have betrayed me" The hurt explodes inside her eyes She throws herself across my body The bullet chokes her Voodoo cries A raven rises from her body The Iceman stares in disbelief I crash through her garret window Race like fire down Bourbon Street Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo world Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City For God sakes, keep your hands off my Voodoo girl Oh, oh, oh, oh, Voodoo City [Incomprehensible]
