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
