《Love Me or Die》歌词

[00:00:08] i studied evil,

[00:00:10] i can't deny,

[00:00:12] was a hoodoo charm called a love me or die,

[00:00:17] some fingernail, a piece of her dress,

[00:00:21] apocathery, devil's behes'

[00:00:27] i will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake,

[00:00:34] fallin slave to passin desire,

[00:00:38] makin' the dreaded love me or die.

[00:01:01] against a jungle primeval green,

[00:01:05] she had the looks of a beauty queen

[00:01:09] no bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe

[00:01:13] seventy-five cent bottle perfume.

[00:01:17] i said, "good mornin", i tipped my hat,

[00:01:21] all the while i was cunning like a rat,

[00:01:25] smilin gaily, looked her in the eye,

[00:01:28] i felt in pocket, the love me or die

[00:01:50] my past history, one to behold,

[00:01:54] i studied magic from days of old,

[00:01:57] membership, secret societies,

[00:02:01] power and wealth in my family

[00:02:04] but matilda, darling,

[00:02:08] why you don't take my wedding ring,

[00:02:12] like a demon under the floor,

[00:02:15] i buried the hoodoo down the back door.

[00:02:35] lawd, word broke through the town,

[00:02:39] that a fever strike matilda down,

[00:02:42] nine thirty, the doctor arrive,

[00:02:46] priest come runnin, quarter to five.

[00:02:50] standin in the weeds early next day,

[00:02:54] i saw the meat wagon rollin away,

[00:02:57] i seen matilda layin in the back,

[00:03:01] her old mother wearin a suit of black

[00:03:22] sound the trumpet, and bang the drum,

[00:03:26] i wait for me judgement to come,

[00:03:29] i know her spirit is down beneath,

[00:03:32] i hear the weepin and gnashing of the teeth.

[00:03:36] flames of hell licks at my feet,

[00:03:40] in the shadow of the jungle i feel the heat,

[00:03:43] matilda's waiting in hell for me too,

[00:03:47] all cause she died from a bad hoodoo.
