João e Maria

My dad was a witch doctor
My mom was into that too
When they died, I went to both their funerals
With my eyes closed, I lit a candle
I made a wish for their souls to come down
To a place I didn’t know

The only wish from my dad John
The last goodbye from my mom Mary
The only wish from my dad John
The last goodbye from my mom Mary

When I left, I was still young
If I were alive, I wouldn’t believe it
I met my dad as John the Skull
And my late mom
Lady Mary Padilha

If the world is small from here
On the other side, I found my family
Light a stub of a candle
That’s red and black

Hail John the Skull and Mary Padilha
John the Skull and Mary Padilha
John the Skull and Mary Padilha
