    Story Behind the Song
    This is a little story about that crazy day down in New Orleans.

    Lyrics
    She comes in the morning like a parade day sun
    In a cat lady mask and her hair undone
    Her walk is the walk of a mysterious one
    Who she is, where she's been, doesn't matter what she's done
    She's tall in her black dress her black dress will tell you
    Of stor ies where magic is more than just dreams
    Of joker-faced peacocks in whiskey-street scenes

    (chorus) Mardi gras girl got glitter in her hair
    crazy day down in New Orleans
    Mardi gras girl got glitter in her hair
    crazy day down in New Orleans
    Mardi gras gi rl got glitter in her hair
    crazy day down in New Orleans

    The king for the day rolls through crazy people crowds
    Veiled in clouds of dimestore wine
    The king disappears with drums in the air
    While she leads you away doin' that old second line
    She moves in her black dress, her black dress will move you
    Down narrow streets to the places she knows
    Where painted space-soldiers seek ladies of fortune

    (chorus)

    Her dark eyes will catch you in an old hoodoo web
    Late at night in the candle glow
    She's good at h er magic on music men
    Gives her soul but her name you'll never know
    Loves in her black dress her black dress will hold you
    Until the midnight bells then she's gone
    You'll wake alone in the quiet of a new day

    (chorus)
