"Voodoo Woman" lyrics

"Voodoo Woman"
(originally by Koko Taylor)

Oh they call me the voodoo woman
Oh I know the reason why
Oh they call me the voodoo woman
Oh I know the reason why
Well if I raise up my hand darlin'
Don't you know the sky begin to cry
Oh cry

Oh they call me the voodoo woman
I look through water and I spy dry land
Oh they call me the voodoo woman
I look through water and I spy dry land
And I'm gonna tell all you men up there
If your woman's got another man
You better hope she doesn't got any

'Cause
I got a rabbit foot in my pocket, a toad frog in my shoes
A craw fish on my shoulder, lookin' right dead at you
I got dust from a rattlesnake and a black spider bone
If that don't do it baby, you'd better leave it all alone

They call me the voodoo woman
Oh I know the reason why
Well if I raise up my hand now
Don't you know the sky begin to cry
Oh cry

Oh I got a rabbit foot in my pocket, a toad frog in my shoes
A crow fish on my shoulder, lookin' right dead at you
I got dust from a rattlesnake, and a black spider bone
If that don't do it baby, you'd better leave it all alone

They call me the voodoo woman
And I know the reason why
Well if I raise up my hand now
Don't you know the sky begin to cry
Oh cry

They call me the voodoo woman
Oh I know the reason why
Oh they call me the voodoo woman
Oh I know the reason why
Well if I raise up my hand
Don't you know the sky begin to cry
Oh cry
