Well I took me a river boat from Memphis and I rode to New Orleans 
  Bm      A              G      E7 
I met up with a little cayenne mama,  
            G         A         D 
said she'd like to by my Delta queen. 
            Bm                     F# 
But there's one thing I forgot to tell you, 
        Bm                    E 
There's one thing you should know... 
           G          A7      D              G           A7         D 
Said, "My mama was a voodoo princess and my heart beats black like coal."

 Bm              A        G     E7           G         A7    D 
Said "Once you taste my cookin' boy, gonna steal your heart away" 
            Bm                     F# 
But there's one thing I forgot to tell you,

               G                 A7      D 
She said "Now once you taste my baby's cookin',  
            G               A7         D 
It's gonna turn your heart black like coal."

 Bm            A           G    E7         G             A7    D

Now this ain't hardly no story, 
E7         G          A7         D

        Bm      A          G     E7 
But ya ramble around in a Delta town, 
        G       A7       D
