Lyrics
Gambled my luck on a pair of dice Under that hot Cajun moon so nice Creole magic in her fiery eyes With every roll, my spirits rise She pulled me close on that levee night And we danced to the rhythm, it felt so right Honey, honey, honey got the backstreet chills [Verse] Met a queen of spades down in New Orleans Gave me lovin' like you won't believe In the shadow of the live oak trees She stole my heart with that slow trombone [Chorus] That Bayou lady, sultry blues queen In the smokey bar, jazz notes in the air Her voice spilled out like thick molasses Casting spells on all who'd dare Guitar strings crying, sliding with grace [Chorus] Blues run deep in the heart of the night This Cajun queen, under neon light Swayin' hips in the Mississippi mist Guitar licks and a whisky kiss Down on Bourbon, jazz and blues entwine With every note, she's forever mine Rolling down the river, moonlit pearls clinging tight Harmonicas moan in the chorus of the night Whiskey breathe, her lips a sweet delight Bass line thumps through the brawlin' fight Stompin' feet, muddy boots tap in time Rusty trombone, it cries with the whine [Verse] In the delta breeze, our hearts collide Sippin' on the spirit, life opens wide Twist of lemon in her hand, glass of bourbon smooth and grand In the warmth of humid cries, we're just stars beneath this Louisiana sky [Verse] Got that muddy river soul, New Orleans took its toll But her love's like pepper spice, and it sure feels more than nice [Chorus] She's the queen of the delta blues With a heart so wild and ways so loose Rolling with the rhythm, the muddy water's tune Her saucy look, it sets the room aflame Cherries on the slot, but she's the winning game Jukebox jivin', we're all under her spell [Chorus] Oh my delta queen, the sultry night's serene Saxophones cry while her soulful eyes gleam
