Well, I'm a voodoo chile

Lord I'm a voodoo chile 


Well, the night I was born 

Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red 

The night I was born 

I swear the moon turned a fire red 

Well my poor mother cried out "lord, the gypsy was right!" 

And I seen her fell down right dead 

(Have mercy) 


Well, mountain lions found me there waitin' 

And set me on a eagles back 

Well, mountain lions found me there, 

And set me on a eagles wing 

(Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say) 

He took me past to the outskirts of infinity, 

And when he brought me back, 

He gave me a venus witch's ring 

Hey! 

And he said "Fly on, fly on" 

Because I'm a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile 

Hey! 


Well, I make love to you, 

And lord knows you'll feel no pain 

Say, I make love to you in your sleep, 

And lord knows you felt no pain 

(Have mercy) 

'Cause I'm a million miles away 

And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame 

(Yeah! What did I say now) 

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile 

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile 


Well my arrows are made of desire 

From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines 

Say my arrows are made of desire, desire 

From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines 

(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah) 

I have a humming bird and it hums so loud, 

You think you were losing your mind, hmmm... 


Well I float in liquid gardens 

And Arizona new red sand 

(Yeah) 

I float in liquid gardens 

Way down in Arizona red sand 


Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue, 

Way down in California 

And the n New York drowns as we hold hands 


'Cause I'm a voodoo chile 

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile 

Yeah!
