PREY

 

Lyrics written by Joe Richardson

 

 

Deep down in Louisiana

Way down by the 'cane

Lived a Mambo, name of Queenie

She sure deal out some pain

Like the deep ole' Atchafalaya

Her soul was dark as mud

Suck your life out just like quicksand

Leave you choking on your blood

 

You better pray boy, pray

Because you're prey boy, prey

You better pray boy, pray

Gotta get down on your knees

Old Sonnier got a shotgun

Mad as he could be

Gon' to shoot young Queenie

The girl would not let him be

No chance to pull the trigger

She had him on his knees

Too late to beg for mercy

Time for him to bleed
