About

A dark Bayou Blues ballad about a bèl fanm who takes your soul with a smile and leaves you frozen in her wake. Rooted in Louisiana Creole culture, Southern folklore, and the mysteries of the swamp—this is the story of Creole Medusa.

Lyrics

Lee on Bell Fahm (Medusa Zydeco)

Verse 1

Lee on Bell Fahm, she will take ya soul,

She ain't a gold digger, but she plays her role.

Walkin' through the dance hall, everybody knows,

One look in her eyes and your heart just froze.

Pre-Chorus

Boy, you better be careful, don't lose control,

She'll leave you standin' there, stone cold.

Sweet like sugar, wild like the wind,

Once she got ya, she gon' pull ya in.

Chorus

So we should call her Medusa, Medusa tonight,

Got the whole town dancin' underneath the moonlight.

Medusa, Medusa, everybody knows,

One smile from that woman and your blood runs cold.

Lee on Bell Fahm, Lord, she stole my soul,

She ain't after money, but she knows her role.

Medusa, Medusa, hear that accordion cry,

She'll make a strong man laugh, then make a grown man cry.

Verse 2

Down in Louisiana where the cypress trees sway,

She move like the river at the end of the day.

Got that Creole fire, got that midnight glow,

And every man that loves her gotta learn to let go.

Pre-Chorus

Boy, you better be careful, don't play the fool,

She'll teach your heart some hard old rules.

Soft as velvet, sharp as a blade,

Leave you wonderin' 'bout the choices you made.

Chorus

So we should call her Medusa, Medusa tonight,

Got the whole town dancin' underneath the moonlight.

Medusa, Medusa, everybody knows,

One smile from that woman and your blood runs cold.

Lee on Bell Fahm, Lord, she stole my soul,

She ain't after money, but she knows her role.

Medusa, Medusa, hear that accordion cry,

She'll make a strong man laugh, then make a grown man cry.

Bridge

Rubboard singin', accordion moanin',

Old folks laughin', young hearts groanin'.

Ain't no runnin' when she calls your name,

Every man who loved her came out changed.

Final Chorus

Medusa, Medusa, queen of the bayou night,

Dancin' in the shadows till the mornin' light.

Lee on Bell Fahm, and the whole world knows,

Mess around with her and you'll be stone cold.
