Lyrics Voodoo Garden - Charlie Musselwhite

Voodoo Garden

In my voodoo garden there’s a one eyed cat
There’s a classic cowboy in a concrete hat
Mask of the devil by the first-born son
You can tell he’s on the level by the way he drinks his rum
Relaxing in the shade, feeling most at ease
In a voodoo garden you can do just like you please
There’s a hole in the ozone, baby, it never ends
Loretta, she don’t care how much money she spends
When the ice man comes by with his saxophone
We’ll have him arrested for living alone
Me, I don’t worry 'bout the big freeze
In a voodoo garden you can do just like you please
Sweet Carrina, working at the bank
Took to the air in an oxygen tank
I don’t know how far she went out of her mind
She said, she was the only one left of her kind
Flying high in the sky, free as a breeze
In a voodoo garden, you can do just like you please
Well, the law caught up with Pazo, put him under the jail
All the vipers down on Haight Street had to forfeit the bail
You can’t pin anything on me he said, heading for the door
I never set foot in this life before
If you lose your money, man, don’t lose your keys
In a voodoo garden, you can do just like you please
Well, I beat the devil at his evil game
He had a lien on my soul, but I run him off his claim
All the bikers and the lifers are dodging every bust
People on the edge say, «In blues we trust»
You can pray to Jesus, fall down on your knees
In a voodoo garden, you can do just like you please
