It was nine o'clock and the pale eye of the moon was high When I strapped on my gun and tried to forget the sun I heard the daughter of darkness she called my name Let no man, good or evil, stand in my way
Chorus: Southern witch You got the evil spell You took my heart away and locked it up down in hell Southern witch Never let me go What is this burnin pain I feel in my soul?
I find her waitin for me beneath the hot spanish sky Unveiled and perfect her skin like aztec gold From lips of fire I hear the endless song she sings Satan's western star has a hold on me
I heard mother mary warn me to stay away The touch of holy water burns like acid rain But nothin can save me from this fate Now that she's shown me her deep dark secret place
Exsequor inritus irritus (fill this void) Cum mei carus dolor (with my beloved's misery)
