Verse

Will it be poison, put in my glass,

Will it be slow or will it be fast?

The bite of a snake, the sting of a spider,

A drink of Belladonna on a Toussaint night.

Hiding in a corner in New York City,

Lookin' down a forty four in West Virginia.

Chorus

Verse

One night I was dancin' with a lady in black,

Wearin' black silk gloves and a black silk hat.

She looked at me longin' with black velvet eyes,

She gazed at me strange all cunning and wise.

Then I saw the flesh just fall off her bones,

The eyes in her skull was burning like coals.

Lord, have mercy, fire and brimstone.

I was dancin' with Misses D.

Chorus

Lord, I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free,

I was dancin', dancin', dancin' so free.

Dancin', dancin', dancin' so free.

Dancin', dancin'. -- fade out
