Verse

Met a girl down NewOrean's way

The likes I'd never seen.

Cast her voodoo on me.

She's a living dream.

Chorus

She has skin the color of coffee.

She has eyes as green as the sea.

Took one look, i was in love;

Love with the bayou queen.

Verse

Her kiss was sweet as beignets.

She was hot as cajun fire.

Can't stop thinking of her.

Can't quench this desire.

Chorus

She has skin the color of coffee.

She has eyes as green as the sea.

Took one look, i was in love;

Love with the bayou queen.

Verse

She has me begging for mercy.

She has me down on my knees.

Pleading for crumbs of love.

Can't seem to break free.

Chorus

She has skin the color of coffee.

She has eyes as green as the sea.

Took one look, i was in love;

Love with the bayou queen.

Verse

 I went to a gypsy and asked her

Do you have a cure for me?

I'm hopelessly in love

But she don't love me.
