Day 12: Dark Lady

A fun witty witchy song for this fun witty witchy day of Halloweeeeen! This is Cher in all her glamour when she performed "Dark Lady" on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour in 1973.

The fortune queen of New Orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat were scratches
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, "Home James" and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"

CHORUS:
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
Till her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
Till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
Than I knew myself

She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words
That were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card
Still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

Chorus

So I ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how I smelled it once in my own room
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore

Chorus

So you fellow Cher fans have spoken, it will be in the deck!

I will post another poll probably tomorrow. Stay tuned! Your comments and participation are always greatly appreciated.

The Dark Lady poll

The Cher Playing Cards is asking for fans' opinion! Considering the extensive wardrobe of our beloved diva, it is sometime a hard task to choose the perfect outfit to pair with each music hit. This week, the question is: "Which outfit makes the greatest Dark Lady!" In the run, we have #1- Cher's black veiled dress from the Sonny & Cher Show when she sang the famous single. #2- a witch outfit worn for a special Halloween performance during her Love Hurts tour in the early 90's, and #3- a black feathered extravaganza designed by Bob Mackie for a Cher Show in the 70's.

So which of these outfit makes the perfect Dark Lady, fellow fans? Answer the new poll (at the top of the left handside)!
