It's Dark in New Orleans - lyrics
Playlist
I'm heading south
Take the train
Packed a bag
Slipped away
Take the train
Packed a bag
Slipped away
They say it's dark
In New Orleans
They say there's work
For women like me
In New Orleans
They say there's work
For women like me
I killed a man
And a few more
I shot them down and left their bodies
Cool down on that old dirt floor
I killed another
To get this seat
On the train
To New Orleans
And a few more
I shot them down and left their bodies
Cool down on that old dirt floor
I killed another
To get this seat
On the train
To New Orleans
Three days counting
Specter shine
There's gonna be trouble
Just my kind
I'll take this letter
To New Orleans
They say there's work
For women like me
Specter shine
There's gonna be trouble
Just my kind
I'll take this letter
To New Orleans
They say there's work
For women like me
I'm heading west
Take the train
Bound in blood
Bound in game
Take the train
Bound in blood
Bound in game
The bounty's high
In New Orleans
I hear there's work
For a man like me
In New Orleans
I hear there's work
For a man like me
These sacred men
Must intervene
I have to wonder, is this a nightmare
Or is this a dream?
Oh I dream
For a man like me
There ain't no other
Than New Orleans
Must intervene
I have to wonder, is this a nightmare
Or is this a dream?
Oh I dream
For a man like me
There ain't no other
Than New Orleans
Three days counting
Specter shine
There's gonna be trouble
Just my kind
I'll take this gun
To New Orleans
They say there's work
For a man like me
Specter shine
There's gonna be trouble
Just my kind
I'll take this gun
To New Orleans
They say there's work
For a man like me
Three days counting
Two days more
Hands will be steady
Once first blood is on the floor
Two above
Three below
I'm counting graves
That I will fill
Two days more
Hands will be steady
Once first blood is on the floor
Two above
Three below
I'm counting graves
That I will fill
Two above
Three below
We're counting graves
That we will fill
We're counting graves
That we will fill
That we will fill
With men like me
Three below
We're counting graves
That we will fill
We're counting graves
That we will fill
That we will fill
With men like me
With men like me...
