Bayou Ghost Tour

They had their beads on they had their booze There were tourists from Oklahoma and Baton Rouge They had a tour guide and some baby blues They went sightseeing voodoo We started our journey at Saint Louis Mama's grandpa he was a spooky dude And just as we reached Marie Laveau's tomb We heard somebody say voodoo The tourist group was led astray By a man who went by Rufus Ray But I couldn't quite hear the rest they said Cause mama looked up at me and she whispered They never came home from the French Quarter They never came home from the French Quarter They never came home from the French Quarter They never came home from the French Quarter I think it was Grandma who told me the story A while back at a family reunion And ever since that night I had wondered About the legend of Rufus So I went back to where they all disappeared But I didn't find nothin just drank a few beers But I still can't forget what they whispered in my ear And I wish that I could go back To when the tourist group was led astray By a man who went by Rufus Ray But I couldn't quite hear the rest they said Cause mama looked up at me and she whispered They never came home from the French Quarter They never came home from the French Quarter They never came home from the French Quarter They never came home from the French Quarter Track from the album "Vodoo Rendezvous"
