I stopped in Thibodeuax roadhouse in Lousian
I wasn't stayin' long I was a wanted man
The air was thick with danger I watched the vixens dance
My six gun in my pocket my pistol in my pants

I let her walk up on me, she pinned me to the door
She said she swore she knew me we'd nver met before
She pressed up hard against me I stared into her eyes
She grabbed my face and kissed me, she had me hypnotized

I'm runnin' down the road can't find the interstate
It's like I'm bein' followed, & I can't get away
The snakes & alligators they whisper in the wind
I hear her callin' to me I turn around again
Cry of a Creole woman woke up the devil down in me

She took me to her bedroom smelled like a cheap hotel
Never had a Cajun queen used to Southern belles
Through the smoky billows of my tobacco leaves
I watched her in the mirror as she was lovin' me

I'm runnin' down the road can't find the interstate
I's like I'm bein' followed, & I can't get away
The snakes & alligators they whisper in the wind
I hear callin' to me I turn around again
Cry of a Creole woman woke up the devil down in me

What's this you wiked woman? Some kind of voodoo game
I haven't slept since Thursday don't even know your name
This spell you got me under got just one remedy
Just like a poison potion goes down smooth and sweet

I'm runnin' down the road can't find the interstate
It's like I'm bein' followed (followed), & I can't get away
The snakes and alligators they whisper in the wind
I hear her callin' to me I turn around again
Cry of a Creole woman

Yeah, the cry of a Creole woman woke up the devil down in me
