Intro:

B A E x2

Chorus:

B   A      E
Ooh   Jambalaya
B   A      E
Ooh   Jambalaya

Verses:

       B                 A
It was muggy July around supper time
       E
When I pulled into New Orleans
  B                        A
I got dropped off at South Rampart Street
      E
I was hungry for a plate of greens

  B                    A
I made my way down the banquette
              E
Where I could see an open door
    B                       A
And overhead a sign made of painted pine read
    E
The Dixie Drug Store

B                      A
Peppers and roots were hanging
         E
From the rafters above
           B               A
There were oils and sprays all on display
    E
For money luck and for love

B                 A
I reached down to pick one up
       E
When a dark hand grabbed my arm
      B                A
And before I could see just who it was
         E
She said you don't want that charm

Chorus:

B   A      E
Ooh   Jambalaya

Verses:

    B                     A
The last man to walk that thing out of here
     E
Just up and disappeared
          B              A
Found his wallet and his wingtip shoes
       E
Near a tombstone down in Algiers

B                A
What you need my travelling friend
     E
Is a place to wash your jeans
      B               A
And I wouldn't be the least surprised
            E
If you were hungry for a plate of greens

    B              A
She beckoned me on up the stairs
          E
For she'd done made up her mind
     B                     A
Said take off your hat and kick off your boots
    E
And leave your pride behind

Figure 1: x1

Verses:

    B                 A
She took me down to a secret place
       E
In the bayou of her blankets
    B                    A
She offered to share her bourbon
  E
I thanked her then I drank it

       B                  A
Thru a small crack in the ceiling
          E
Burst the Louisiana moon
   B                 A
It shone down on our bodies
    E
And we began to croon

       B           A
Like a couple of coyotes
        E
We were howling thru the night
      B                 A
And I swear they were a beatin' those
E
Congo drums outside

Chorus:

B   A       E
Ooh    Jambalaya

Verses:

   B                 A
We laughed until the mornin'
   E
By then my pants had dried
  B                    A
I picked up my hat and pulled on my boots
      E
And I gathered up my pride

  B               A
I figured she had done stepped out
         E
I didn't see her anywhere
    B            A
And I set out to find her
  E
I headed on downstairs

B               A
Got down to the bottom
  E
I couldn't believe my eyes
B                 A
Gone were all the bottles
        E
And the remedy supplies

Chorus:

B   A       E
Ooh    Jambalaya

Verses:

  B               A
I shouted out for Mary
  E
I darted out the door
   B              A
An old man on the wooden porch said
E
What you in there for

B              A
Son you got no business
    E
The hoodoo store's been closed
B         A
Long as I remember
  E
A century I suppose

    B             A
But Mister I just spent the night
       E
With a young gal named Laveau
   B              A
He said the Widow Paris
     E
Done had a little laugh on you

  B                A
I said you mean to tell me
     E
That was the voodooin'
   B               A
He nodded yes none other
    E
The Queen of New Orleans
