"I Walk On Guilded Splinters (Things Happen That Way Version)" lyrics - DR. JOHN

Some people think they jive me
But I know they must be crazy
Don't see dey misfortune
Guess they just too lazy

Je suis le Grand Zombie
My yellow belt of choison
Ain't afraid of no tomcat
Fill my brains with poison

Walk through the fire
Fly through the smoke
See my enemy
At the end of dey rope

Walk on pins and needles
See what they can do
Walk on guilded splinters
With the King of the Zulu

Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters
Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters

I rolled out my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And y'all feel my malice

Put gris-gris on your doorstep
Soon, you'll be in the gutter
Melt your heart like butter
A-a-and I can make you stutter

Walk on guilded splinters
Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters
Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters

Coco Robicheaux, I see power go
Come on down to my soiree
Bring your parain, your Marie, your Mamie, your Dondi, your cousin
And the whole family

No fine de cose bonne?
La jovial la chandelle?
Se la fais la carabas?

Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters
Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters

Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters
Con bu nay killy con con
Walk on guilded splinters
