Prey [Reduction]

[Verse 1: Joe Richardson]
Deep down in Louisiana
Way down by the 'cane
Lived a Mambo, name of Queenie
She sure deal out some pain
Yeah, like the deep ole' Atchafalaya
Her soul was dark as mud
Suck your life out just like quicksand
Leave you choking on your blood

[Chorus: Joe Richardson]
You better pray, boy, pray
For you're prey, boy, prey
Oh, yeah
You better pray, boy, pray
Pray, boy
For you're prey, boy, prey (Gotta get down on your knees)

[Verse 2: Joe Richardson]
(Shot...)
Old Sonnier got a shotgun (Got a shotgun)
Yeah, mad as he could be
Gon' to shoot young Queenie
Oh, the girl would not let him be
Ain't no chance to pull the trigger
She had him on his knees
Too latе to beg for mercy
Time for him to bleed

[Chorus: Joe Richardson]
You bеtter pray, boy, pray
Yeah, come on, boy
For you're prey, boy, prey
You better pray, boy, pray
Time to get down on your knees

[Interlude: Joe Richardson]
Time for him to bleed
Pray, boy
Too late to beg for mercy
Get down on your knees
Make you beg, make you beg for mercy
(Pray, boy, pray)

[Chorus: Joe Richardson]
(You better pray)
You better pray, boy, pray (Pray, pray, boy)
For you're prey, boy, prey (Yeah)

[Post-Chorus: Joe Richardson]
Pray, boy
No!

[Coda: Joe Richardson]
Suck your life out just like...
Quicksand
