One of those B-sides it was worth flipping the record for: Ray Charles: The Danger Zone

A Percy Mayfield tune from the days of A-bomb uncertain future, this was the flip side of Hit the Road Jack (1961)

CW Stoneking: The Love Me or Die

I studied evil, I can't deny,
Was a hoodoo charm called a Love Me or Die,
Some fingernail, a piece of her dress,
Apocathery, Devil's behes'
...I will relate
the piteous consequence my mistake,
Fallin' slave to passin' desire,
Makin' the dreaded Love me or Die.​

Against a Jungle primeval green,
She had the looks of a beauty queen;
No bangles or chain, wearin' broken shoe
Seventy-five cent bottle perfume.
I said, "Good mornin", I tipped my hat,
All the while I was cunning like a rat,
Smilin' gaily, looked her in the eye,
I felt in my pocket, the Love me or Die​

My past history, one to behold,
I study magic from days of old,
Membership secret society,
Power and wealth in my family.
But Matilda, Darlin',
Why you don't take my wedding ring,
Like a demon under the floor,
Buried the hoodoo down the back door.​

Oh, word broke through the town,
That a fever strike Matilda down,
Nine thirty, the doctor arrive,
Priest come runnin' quarter to five.
Standin' in the weeds early next day
I saw the meat wagon rollin away,
I seen Matilda layin' in the back,
Her old mother wearin' a suit of black.​

Sound the trumpet, and bang the drum,
I wait for me judgement to come,
I know her spirit is down beneath,
I hear the weepin' and gnashing of the teeth.
Flames of Hell licks at my feet
In the shadow of the Jungle I feel the heat,
Matilda's waiting in Hell for me too,
All cause she died from a bad hoodoo.​
