Down in New Orleans on Julia St.
Drink a little poison before you die
There's a lawyer man you don't want to meet
Drink a Little poison before you die
He said, "trust me, trust me it'll be all right"
Drink a little poison before you die
You sign in blood on a full moon right
Drink a little poison before you die
Lawyer, lawyer who are you?
Drink a little poison before you die
The hang man's noose is looking good on you
Drink a little poison before you die
You waste our time with your nickel and dime
Drink a little poison before you die
Come taste a drink of this homemade wine
Drink a little poison before you die
Before you die, before you die
Drink a little poison before you die Cemetery, cemetery where is Marie Laveau?
She's down in New Orleans in her voodoo sepulchre
Floating above her bones
She floats through the skies on a midnight ride
Radiating in your head
You let her seap inside your soul
You'll never ever be dead
Aw, look at the baby cry
Drink a little poison before you die
He keeps falling down and he don't know why
Drink a little poison before you die
Liar, liar with your pants on fire
Drink a little poison before you die
We're gonna dance around your funeral pyre
Drink a little poison before you die
