She was a dancer at the Club Zydeco Moon
E Am
An all night social house and all day saloon
She had the face and body the devil’s own desire
E Am
Her lips were full and sugar sweet as blackberry wine
G
She danced around my table
Am
Flashin’ gris-gris eyes at me
G Am
Swayin’ to the tempo of a squeezebox melody
She reached down and snatched the folded money
from my fist
E Am
So easy to give into and too hard to resist
G Am
She did her business underneath the candle light
G Am
Always aware of Mama Zuzu’s watchful eye
How many young boys have lost their innocence
E
Turned into old men wonderin’ where their
Am
money went
( F Am F G E )
Am
What happened 20 years ago seem like yesterday
I don’t drive through that part of town,
E Am
I go the other way
She still dances through my bedroom every time I
go to sleep
E
To the rhythm of the music that the squeezebox
Am
player keeps
G Am
I smell the incense burning Mama Zuzu’s cigarette
G Am
Louisiana heat wave and the midnight summer sweat
Somewhere down that alley there’s an old run down saloon
E Am
She’s waiting there for me at Club Zydeco Moon
G
She danced around my table
Am
Flashin’ gris-gris eyes at me
G Am
Swayin’ to the tempo of a squeezebox melody
She reached down and snatched the folded money
from my fist
E Am
So easy to give into and too hard to resist
