Creole Woman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I stopped in Thibodeaux, Roadhouse in Louisiana I wasn't staying 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 never met before She pressed up hard against me, I stared into her eyes She grabbed my face and kissed me, she had me hypnotized [Chorus] I'm running down the road, can't find the interstate It's like I'm being followed and I can't get away The snakes and alligators, they whisper in the wind I hear her calling to me, I turn around again Cry of a Creole woman Woke up the devil down in me [Verse 2] She took me to her bedroom, smelled like a cheap hotel Never had a Cajun queen, I'm used to Southern belles But through the smoky billows of my tobacco leaves I watched her in the mirror as she was loving me [Chorus] I'm running down the road, can't find the interstate It's like I'm being followed and I can't get away The snakes and alligators, they whisper in the wind I hear her calling to me, I turn around again Cry of a Creole woman Woke up the devil down in me [Verse 3] What's this you wicked woman, some kind of voodoo game? Hell 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, that goes down smooth and sweet [Chorus] I'm running down the road, can't find the interstate It's like I'm being followed and I can't get away The snakes and alligators, they whisper in the wind I hear her calling to me, I turn around again Cry of a Creole woman Woke up the devil down in me
