[Riff] x2
Ebm
I studied evil, I can't deny
Bb7
Was a hoodoo charm called a 'Love Me or Die'
Some fingernail, a piece o' her dress
Ebm
Apocathary[sic] Devil's behest
Bb7
I will relate, the piteous consequence my mistake
Fallin slave to passing desire
Ebm
Makin' the dreaded Love Me or Die
[Riff]
Ebm
Against a jungle primeval green
Bb7
She had the looks of a beauty queen
No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe
Ebm
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume
I said "Good mornin'", I tipped my hat
Bb7
All the while I was cunnin' like a rat
Smiling gaily, look her in the eye
Ebm
I felt in my pocket, the Love me or Die
[Riff]
Ebm
My past history, one to behold
Bb7
I study magic from days of old
Membership, secret society
Ebm
Power and wealt' in my family
But Matilda, darlin'
Bb7
Why you don't take my wedding ring?
Like a demon under the floor
Ebm
Buried the hoodoo down the back door
[Riff]
Ebm
Lawd, word broke through the town
Bb7
That a fever strike Matilda down
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive
Ebm
Priest come runnin', quarter to five
Standin' in the weeds early next day
Bb7
I saw the meat wagon rollin' away
I seen Matilda layin' in the back
Ebm
Her old mother wearin' a suit of black
[Riff]
Ebm
Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum
Bb7
I wait for me judgement to come
I know her spirit is down beneat'
Ebm
I hear the weeping and gnashing of the teeth
Flames of Hell licks at my feet
Bb7
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat
Matilda's waiting in hell for me too
Ebm
All 'cause she died from a bad hoodoo
