EbmEbm
I studied evil, I can't deny
Bb7Bb7
what the hoodoo sound called a 'love me or die'
something, a nail, a piece o' her dress
EbmEbm
apocathary [sic] devil will behest
Bb7Bb7
I will relate deep hideous consequence to my mistake
fallen slave to passing desire
EbmEbm
making the dreaded love me or die
EbmEbm
Against a jungle prime evil green
Bb7Bb7
she had the looks of a beauty queen
no bangles or chain wearin' -broken true-
EbmEbm
75 cent bottle perfume
I said good mornin', I tipped my hat
Bb7Bb7
while i was cunnin' like a rat
smiling gaily look her in the eye
EbmEbm
I felt in my pocket the love me or die
EbmEbm
My past, history, one to behold
Bb7Bb7
I study magic from days of old
membership, secret society
EbmEbm
I am wealt' in my family
But, Matilda, darlin'
Bb7Bb7
why you don't take my wedding ring?
like a demon under the floor
EbmEbm
bury the hoodoo down the back door
EbmEbm
Oh, word broke through the town
Bb7Bb7
that a fever strike Matilda down
Nine thirty the doctors arrive
EbmEbm
priest come runnin', quarter to five
standin' in the weeds early next day
Bb7Bb7
I saw the meat wagon rollin' away
I seen Matilda layin' in the back
EbmEbm
her old mother wearin' a suit of rags
EbmEbm
Sound the trumpet and bang the drum
Bb7Bb7
I wait for me judgement to come
I know her spirit is down beneat'
EbmEbm
I hear the weeping and gnashing of the teeth
flames of hell accept my feet
Bb7Bb7
in the shadow of the jungle I feel the heat
Matilda's waiting in hell for me too
EbmEbm
all 'cause she died from a bad hoodoo
