I stopped in Thibodeuax roadhouse in Lousian I wasn't stayin' long I was a wanted man The air was thick with danger I watched the vixens dance My six gun in my pocket my pistol in my pants
I let her walk up on me, she pinned me to the door She said she swore she knew me we'd nver met before She pressed up hard against me I stared into her eyes She grabbed my face and kissed me, she had me hypnotized
I'm runnin' down the road can't find the interstate It's like I'm bein' followed, & I can't get away The snakes & alligators they whisper in the wind I hear her callin' to me I turn around again Cry of a Creole woman woke up the devil down in me
She took me to her bedroom smelled like a cheap hotel Never had a Cajun queen used to Southern belles Through the smoky billows of my tobacco leaves I watched her in the mirror as she was lovin' me
I'm runnin' down the road can't find the interstate I's like I'm bein' followed, & I can't get away The snakes & alligators they whisper in the wind I hear callin' to me I turn around again Cry of a Creole woman woke up the devil down in me
What's this you wiked woman? Some kind of voodoo game I haven't slept since Thursday don't even know your name This spell you got me under got just one remedy Just like a poison potion goes down smooth and sweet
I'm runnin' down the road can't find the interstate It's like I'm bein' followed (followed), & I can't get away The snakes and alligators they whisper in the wind I hear her callin' to me I turn around again Cry of a Creole woman
Yeah, the cry of a Creole woman woke up the devil down in me
