It's Dark in New Orleans - Port Sulphur Band/Dominik Zingler/Nicolette Stewart
Lyrics by:Dominik Zingler/Nicolette Stewart
Composed by:Dominik Zingler/Nicolette Stewart
I'm heading south take the train
Packed a bag slipped away
They say it's dark in New Orleans
They say there's work for a woman like me
I killed a man and a few more
I shot them down and left
Their bodies cooling on that old dirt floor
I killed another to get this
Seat on the train to New Orleans
Three days counting specter shine
There's gonna be trouble just my kind
I'll take this letter to New Orleans
They say there's work for a woman like me
I'm heading west take the train
Bound in blood bound in name
The bounties high in New Orleans
I hear there's work for a man like me
These sacred men must intervene
I have to wonder is this a nightmare
Or is it a dream
Oh my dream for a man like me
There ain't no other than New Orleans
Three years counting specter shine
There's gonna be trouble just my kind
I'll take this gun to New Orleans
They say there's work for a man like me
Three days counting two days more
Hands will be steady once first bloods on the floor
Two above three below
I'm counting graves that I will fill
Two above three below
We're counting graves that we have filled
We're counting graves that we will fill
That we will fill with men like me
With men like me
