Meet Me In The Alleyway |
I had a melancholy malady |
Went to see the doctor and the doctor say |
Too bad, nothin' he could do |
He knew a man in Louisiana if I’m willin' to pay |
Laid my money on the barrelhead |
Man behind the bar began to shimmy and shake |
Can’t lie, I reckoned I was dead |
When he picked my money up and I heard him say |
Meet me in the alleyway minute to midnight |
Don’t be late meet me in the alleyway |
Better come runnin' the spirits won’t wait |
Thirteen tiger teeth in my talisman |
St. John the Conqueror and a black cat bone |
Been seen walkin' with the guardians |
Now I’m in the alley and I’m all alone |
Can’t run, can’t hide from destiny |
Knew this day was callin' nearly all of my life |
Been done ain’t the only boy from Tennessee |
To carve his name in cypress with a jawbone knife |
So you wanna be the king of America |
Say you wanna know the oracle’s mind |
Say you wanna see the Marquesses of Mardi Gras |
dancin' with the devil at the end of the line |
