Congo Square

Lyrics: Sonny Landreth
Music: Sonny Landreth

Played by the Trichromes with Bill Kreutzmann. Not yet checked against a recording.

Might be superstition but some kind of something
Going on down there
It might be superstition but some kind of something
Going on down there
It's an old time tradition when they play their
Drums at night in Congo Square

You can hear them in the distance
And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
You can hear them in the distance
And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
That's when the voodoo people gather
And they play their drums at night in Congo Square

My eyes were not believing
What I seen there, but I could not turn away
My eyes were not believing
What I seen there, but I could not turn away
They had that mojo in motion
And I seen them dance in trance with that snake

It might be superstition
But when I hear them in the night I say a prayer
Yeah it might be superstition But when I hear them in the night I say a prayer
Because I respects tradition
Like the kind they carry on in Congo Square
