All and all

The world is small enough for both of us

To meet upon the interstate

Waiting on a train

And just when those big arms lift up

Fall in love with no time to say it

And I would have liked to

Now I'm Fuzzy

I would have liked to

Now I'm fuzzy

Fuzzy now

Here we are

In our car

Driving down the street

We're looking for a place to stop

Have a bite to eat

We hunger for a bit of faith

To replace the fear

We water like a dead bouquet

It does no good does it dear

And I've been lied to

Now I'm Fuzzy

We've been lied to

Now we're Fuzzy

Fuzzy now

I see the bad dreams that you speak about

Dixie Drug Store

greens

B A

  E=09

I made my down the banquette where I could see an open door

An overhead sign made of painted pine read =91The Dixie Drug Store=92

Peppers and roots were hangin=92 from the rafters above

There oils and sprays all on display, for money, luck and for love

I reached down to pick one up but a dark hand grabbed my arm

And before I could see just who it was, she said "You don=92t want that=

=20

charm."

"The last man to walk that thing outta here just up and disappeared."

"They found his wallet and his wing-tip shoes near a tombstone down in=20

Algiers."

"What you need my travelin=92 friend is a place to wash your jeans,"=20

"And I wouldn=92t be the least surprised if you were hungry for a plate o=

=92=20

greens."

She beckoned me on up the stairs =91cause she=92d done made up her mind

She said: "Take off your hat and kick off your boots and leave your pride=

=20

behind."

She took me down to a secret place in the bayou of her blankets

She offered to share her bourbon, I thanked her then I drank it

Through a small crack in the ceiling burst the Louisiana moon

It shone down on our bodies and we began to croon

Like a couple o=92 coyotes we were howlin=92 through the night

And I swear they were beatin=92 those congo drums outside

We laughed until the morning, by then my pants had dried

I picked up my hat and pulled on my boots and I gathered up my pride

I figured she had done slipped out, I couldn=92t see her anywhere

And I set out to find her and I headed on downstairs

I got down to the bottom and I couldn=92t believe my eyes: gone were all=20

the bottles and the remedy supplies

I shouted out for Mary, I darted out the door

An old man on the wooden porch said: "What you in there for?"

"Son, you got no business, the hoodoo store=92s been closed. Long as I=20

remember, a century I suppose."

" But, mister, I just spent the night with a young girl named Laveau."

He said: "The widow Paris done had a little laugh on you."

I said: "You mean to tell me that was the Voodooin'?"

He nodded, "Yes, none other - the Queen o=92 New Orleans."
