Voodoo Blues - Trixie Smith

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
