Story behind the song
Giorgetto sent me Soft Blues For Elad guitar lead to use.When I added a base drum and cymbals,it sounded like a New Orleans funeral procession.I found a story in which Col. Roux The Commandant of Cat Island had been murdered by three men in 1764.Two of them were executed on a wheel which broke every bone in their bodies.The leader was nailed in a coffin and sawed in half by 2 negro slaves.The sun from New Orleans appears to set in the east and rise in the west because of its location.For several miles The great Mississippi River flows towards the North.It was too good to pass up.I created the ghost story and added other historical characters.Mme.Lalaurie owned the infamous Haunted House in which they discovered many torture chambers when it caught on fire.The house entertained many affluent men and women.The torture chambers were part of the entertainment.A couple of the famous guests were Napoleon's brother and The Marquis De Lafayette.The Vieux Carree is the old part of New Orleans.The Mojo Bag is believed to have parts of cats inside it and powers for both good and evil.
Lyrics
There's no mojo cure for we murderers three......Although executed for all to see..Two by the wheel and I cut in half while nailed in my coffin by two negro slaves..Colonel Roux the Commandant of Cat Island will not let us be...We meet every dusk at Halloween..When the sun sets in the East on Lake Pontchartrain..The Colonel calls to climb aboard looking through us with that icy cold stare..we float North down the river until the break of dawn when the sun rises in the West on old Algiers..Madame Lalaurie and her Haunted House,With The Marquis de Lafayette and her horrible friends..All laugh at me on the Vieux Carree every Halloween since 1764..I've tried every Mojo Bag from here to Cancun..No matter how you slice it...It won't work for me..I'm stuck on this ship 'till eternity because I killed the Colonel,the Commandant of the Cat Island..No Mojo Cure,no Mojo cure,why won't the Colonel set me free this day..I was executed sawed in cold blood while nailed in my coffin and still alive..There's No Mojo Cure.
