She's Got Magic

from Nazareth (2017) by Chet Nichols

/

about

A fun, swampy, bluesy, New-Orleans rock song......enjoy! It's about a man and a fortune teller who fall in love. I little bit of Allen Toussaint (RIP), Little Feat, Leon Russell happening here....maybe a dash of Dave Mason, too.

VERSE 1:
I saw a poster at the station
Said the carnival’s in town
With an enchanting fortune-teller
Who could take a frown and turn it up-side-down
I went and found her painted wagon
Raised the knocker on her door
Suddenly, she swung it open
Saying, “I know what it is you’re looking for”

CHORUS:
Ooo, that girl’s’ got magic
I could see and feel it in her eyes
Ooo, that girl’s got magic
Every wink and smile hides a sweet surprise

VERSE 2:
Then we held hands around a candle
Staring deep into the flame
Suddenly I had this tingly feeling
That she had somehow crawled inside my brain
She said that , “I see something tragic.
Darkness is creeping towards your life.
If you don’t do exactly what I tell you,
You will never have a family or a wife”

CHORUS:
Ooo, that girl’s got magic
I could see and feel it in her eyes
Ooo, that girl’s got magic
Every wink and smile hides a sweet surprise


BRIDGE:
She said, “You’re going on a journey
So, close your eyes, and we’ll both take a ride”
Next thing I know we’re on a magic carpet
Circling the moon and streaking ‘cross the sky

VERSE 3:
Then we landed on a hillside
And did the jiggerbug thru town
We got all jiggy with some giggly loving
While the music kept us spinnin’ ‘round and ‘round
She did not use a magic potion
No secret spells or magic words
She simply wrapped her arms around me
And we took off like a pair of love-sick birds

REPRISE:
Now we both live inside her wagon
Filled with kids that seem to grow on trees
She stills claims it comes from magic
While I still blame the jitterbug and the birds and bees

CHORUS:
Ooo, that girl, she’s got magic
Far beyond the Midas touch
I don’t know who gave it to her
I wanna shake their hands and thank them
Shake their hands and thank them
I wanna shake their hands and thank them very much
For the magic
Oh, the magic
The girl’s got magic
Oh, magic
Magic, magic, magic
