Lyrics Voodoo Blues - Trixie Smith

Voodoo Blues

Trees and logs, snakes and frogs
Cross-eyed hogs, knock-kneed dogs
They all come at my call
Spider eggs, black cat legs
Is laying 'round my hall
Only one thing’s bothering me
Listen now and I’ll tell to thee
I’m as mean as can be
Don’t no one fool with me
'Cause I’m evil, evil now
Me and my only man had a row
On some dog-weary day
I will lay him away
He’ll be hoodoo, voodoo too
I will in his shoe
'Cause I’m a voodoo woman, yes
I mean a voodoo woman, yes
He will be moanin' too, he won’t know what to do
He will be groanin' too after he eats my stew
'Cause I know everything there’s to be known 'bout voodoo
And I’m mean,
That he’ll be crawling on the floor
He’ll be rootin'-tootin' 'round
Just the same as a mole underground
And with a lock of his hair
I will fix him for fair
In my mixture, mixture stew
I will change his complexion to blue
He’ll be in misery when he dies
He will be moanin' too, he won’t know what to do
He will be groanin' too after he eats my stew
'Cause I know everything there’s to be known 'bout voodoo, voodoo
