Moonlight Dancin' on the Bayou

I ran into a gypsy woman workin' on the bayou

A red silk scarf on her jet black hair with a smile and a gold capped tooth

She said her name was Mama Star, raised in New Orleans

Been around the world five times over, wish I would see half she's seen

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou

Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

She stooped down, cracked a vertical smile, fire came from her fingertips

With a Cheshire cat grin said what can I get you as she was licking her lips

I'd be a fool baby, if I didn't do the do

I couldn't forget it, I had to hit it, then I had to hit the bricks

Get on the next train out of town

Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down

Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell

Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town

Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down

Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell

Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

The fire was burnin', my guts were turnin' as she swinged and danced around

A black cat crossed my path and then I got dizzy and I had to lay down

She took me round the corner baby, to a basement room

She stood in the doorway to block my path, I knew I had to get out of there soon

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou

Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou

Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

Get on the next train out of town

Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down

Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell

Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town

Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down

Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell

Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Moonlight dancin' on the bayou

Say your prayers cause she gonna get inside you

I hope she's doing well, yes I hope she's doing fine

My hair's grown back and I'm almost as tall as I was in ninety-nine

The woman has a power baby, from the darker side

I hope I never see her again, if I do, I'll just run and hide

Get on the next train out of town

Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down

Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell

Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town

Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down

Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell

Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well

Get on the next train out of town

Gotta get outta here fore the sun goes down

Gotta get outta here before she cast a spell

Save a lot of pennies for the wishing well
