They had their beads on they had their booze
There were tourists from Oklahoma and Baton Rouge
They had a tour guide and some baby blues
They went sightseeing voodoo

We started our journey at Saint Louis
Mama's grandpa he was a spooky dude
And just as we reached Marie Laveau's tomb
We heard somebody say voodoo

The tourist group was led astray
By a man who went by Rufus Ray
But I couldn't quite hear the rest they said
Cause mama looked up at me and she whispered
They never came home from the French Quarter
They never came home from the French Quarter
They never came home from the French Quarter
They never came home from the French Quarter

I think it was Grandma who told me the story
A while back at a family reunion
And ever since that night I had wondered
About the legend of Rufus

So I went back to where they all disappeared
But I didn't find nothin just drank a few beers
But I still can't forget what they whispered in my ear
And I wish that I could go back

To when the tourist group was led astray
By a man who went by Rufus Ray
But I couldn't quite hear the rest they said
Cause mama looked up at me and she whispered
They never came home from the French Quarter
They never came home from the French Quarter
They never came home from the French Quarter
They never came home from the French Quarter
