[00:08.05]I studied evil,
[00:10.06]I can't deny,
[00:12.38]Was a hoodoo charm called a Love Me or Die,
[00:17.14]Some fingernail, a piece of her dress,
[00:21.30]Apocathery, Devil's behes'
[00:27.34]I will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake,
[00:34.32]Fallin slave to passin desire,
[00:38.58]Makin' the dreaded Love me or Die.
[00:46.82]
[01:01.11]Against a Jungle primeval green,
[01:05.15]She had the looks of a beauty queen
[01:09.09]No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe
[01:13.19]Seventy-five cent bottle perfume.
[01:17.09]I said, "Good mornin", I tipped my hat,
[01:21.07]All the while I was cunning like a rat,
[01:25.05]Smilin gaily, looked her in the eye,
[01:28.62]I felt in pocket, the Love me or Die
[01:34.46]
[01:50.26]My past history, one to behold,
[01:54.00]I studied magic from days of old,
[01:57.34]Membership, secret societies,
[02:01.16]Power and wealth in my family
[02:04.59]But Matilda, Darling,
[02:08.73]Why you don't take my wedding ring,
[02:12.02]Like a demon under the floor,
[02:15.12]I buried the hoodoo down the back door.
[02:20.49]
[02:35.05]Lawd, word broke through the town,
[02:39.00]That a fever strike Matilda down,
[02:42.31]Nine thirty, the doctor arrive,
[02:46.51]Priest come runnin, quarter to five.
[02:50.04]Standin in the ****s early next day,
[02:54.02]I saw the meat wagon rollin away,
[02:57.87]I seen Matilda layin in the back,
[03:01.18]Her old mother wearin a suit of black
[03:09.47]
[03:22.25]Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum,
[03:26.05]I wait for me judgement to come,
[03:29.59]I know her spirit is down beneath,
[03:32.99]I hear the weepin and gnashing of the teeth.
[03:36.85]Flames of Hell licks at my feet,
[03:40.01]In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat,
[03:43.77]Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too,
[03:47.03]All cause she died from a bad hoodoo.
