The Love Me or Die
I studied evil I can't deny Was a hoodoo charm called a Love Me or Die A fingernail, a piece of her dress Apocathery, Devil's behes' I will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake Fallin slave to passin desire Makin' the dreaded Love me or Die.
Against a Jungle primeval green She had the looks of a beauty queen No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe Seventy-five cent bottle perfume. I said, 'Good mornin', I tipped my hat All the while I was cunning like a rat Smilin gaily, looked her in the eye
I felt in my pocket, the Love me or Die My past history, one to behold I studied magic from days of old Membership, secret societies Power and wealth in my family But Matilda, Darling Why you don't take my wedding ring Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Like a demon under the floor I buried the hoodoo down the back door. Lawd, word broke through the town That a fever strike Matilda down Nine thirty, the doctor arrive Priest come runnin, quarter to five. Standin in the weeds early next day
I saw the meat wagon rollin away I seen Matilda layin in the back Her old mother wearin a suit of black Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum I wait for me judgement to come I know her spirit is down beneath I hear the weepin and gnashing of the teeth. Flames of Hell licks at my feet In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too All cause she died from a bad hoodoo.
