congo square

Mark Knopfler

Might be superstition but some kind of somethin
Goin on down there
Might be superstition but some kind of somethin
Goin on down there
Its an old time tradition when they play their
Drums at night in congo square

You can hear em in the distance
And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
You can hear em in the distance
And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
Thats when the voodoo people gather
And they play their drums at night in congo square
Voodoo people

My eyes were not believin
What I seen there but I could not turn away
My eyes were not believin
What I seen there but I could not turn away
They had that mojo in motion
And I seen em dance in trance with that snake
Snake dance

It might be superstition
But when I hear em in the night I say a prayer
It might be superstition
But when I hear em in the night I say a prayer
And thats cause I respects tradition
Like the kind they carry on in congo square
