Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][Dm][A]
[A][A][Dm]
[Dm][Dm][A]
[A][A][Dm]

[Verse 1]
I studied [Dm]evil, I can't deny
Was a hoodoo charm
called a Love Me or [A]Die
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress
Apocathery, Devil's [Dm]behes'
I will relate,
the piteous consequence my mis[A]take
Fallin' slave to passin' desire
Makin' the dreaded Love me or [Dm]Die

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Dm][A]
[A][A][Dm]

[Verse 2]
Against a [Dm]Jungle primeval green
She had the looks of a beauty [A]queen
No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe
Seventy-five cent bottle per[Dm]fume
I said "Good mornin" I tipped my hat
All the while I was cunning like a [A]rat
Smiling gaily, looked her in the eye
I felt in my pocket, the Love me or [Dm]Die

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][Dm][A]
[A][A][Dm]

[Verse 3]
My past [Dm]history, one to behold
I studied magic from days of [A]old
Membership, secret societies
Power and wealth in my fami[Dm]ly
But Matilda, darling
Why you don't take my wedding [A]ring
Like a demon under the floor
I buried the hoodoo down the back [Dm]door

[Interlude 3]
[Dm][Dm][A]
[A][A][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Lawd, word broke through the town
That a fever strike Matilda [A]down
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive
Priest come runnin', quarter to [Dm]five
Standin' in the weeds early next day
I saw the meat wagon rollin' a[A]way
I seen Matilda layin' in the back
Her old mother wearin' a suit of [Dm]black

[Interlude 4]
[Dm][Dm][A]
[A][A][Dm]

[Verse 5]
Sound the [Dm]trumpet, and bang the drum
I wait for me judgement to [A]come
I know her spirit is down beneath
I hear the weepin'
and gnashing of the [Dm]teeth
Flames of Hell licks at my feet
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the [A]heat
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too
All cause she died from a bad hoo[Dm]doo

[Outro 1]
