Lyrics
[Verse 1] The creek is rising over the hemlock roots And the damp earth reeks of the grave The pump organ wheezes its funeral hymn For a man that no prayer can save I followed the scent of the peat and the moss To the place where the copperheads crawl She’s waiting there with a vial of salt Leaning against the cabin wall [Chorus] Lost my soul to a voodoo woman in New Orleans Don’t want my soul back, just one more dance Lost my soul to a voodoo woman in New Orleans Don’t want my soul back, just one more dance [Verse 2] Her skin is stained with the charcoal dust And her breath is a cold mountain wind She stepped through the ring of the elderberry To take what I’m happy to lend The floorboards groan under the weight of the night As the kerosene lamp starts to die She leads me around by a hempen rope With graveyard hunger in her eyes [Chorus] Lost my soul to a voodoo woman in New Orleans Don’t want my soul back, just one more dance Lost my soul to a voodoo woman in New Orleans I'd trade heaven twice for one more dance [Bridge] (One more dance) My boots are caked in the river silt (Just one more) The marrow is cold in the bone I’d rather be damned in her circling arms Than blessed and standing alone [Outro] Let the organ heave its final sigh Let the moss creep over the door I’m spinning away in the velvet dark And I don’t need my heart anymore (Just one more dance) (Just one more dance) Lost my soul...
