VOODOO WOMAN

Covered by Susan Tedeschi, originally done by Koko Taylor



Ohh they call me the voodoo woman

And I know the reason why

Ohh they call me the voodoo woman

Ohh and I know-o the reason why

Ohh, if I raise up my hands now 

Don't you know the sky begins to cry, darlin' ohh now!



Ohh they call me the voodoo woman

Cause I look through water and I spot dry land

Ohh they call me the voodoo woman

I look through water and I spot dry land

And I'm gonna tell all you men out there

If your woman's got another man

Honey you better hope she doesn't!



Cause, gotta rabbit foot in my pocket 

A toad frog in my shoes, a crawdaddy on my shoulder

Looking dead at you

I got dust from a rattlesnake

And a black spider bone

If that don't do it baby

You better leave this girl alone



They call me the voodoo woman

And I know the reason why

Lord if I raise my hand 

Ohh I know the sky gonna come down with rain!

Lord you better hope not, come on now!

(Solo-break)

They call me the voodoo woman

Oh I know the reason why

Oh if I raise up my hand 

Oh I think somebody, somebody better look out 

‘cause I don't think they understand!

(Solo-break)

Lord, ohh they call me the voodoo woman

And I know the reason why-ee

Ohh they call me the voodoo woman

And I know the reason why

Ohh, if I raise up my hands now
