It’s Dark in New Orleans

[Female Vocals]
I'm heading south
Take that 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

[Male Vocals]
I'm heading west
Take that train
Bound in blood
Bound in gain
The bounty's high
In New Orleans
They say 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 a I dream
For a man like me
There ain't no other
Than New Orleans

Three days 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

[Vocalists in Unison]
Three days counting
Two hands more
Hands'll be steady
Once the first blood is on the floor

[Female and Male Vocals alternate]
Two above
Three below
I'm counting graves
That I will fill

[Unison]
Two above
Three below
We're counting graves
That we will fill

We're counting graves
That we will fill
That we will fill
With men like me
With men like me
