JIMI HENDRIX - Voodoo Chile (Alternate Version) lyrics

rate me

Well, I'm a voodoo chile<br />

Lord I'm a voodoo chile<br />

<br />

Well, the night I was born<br />

Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red<br />

The night I was born<br />

I swear the moon turned a fire red<br />

Well my poor mother cried out "lord, the gypsy was right!"<br />

And I seen her fell down right dead<br />

(Have mercy)<br />

<br />

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'<br />

And set me on a eagles back<br />

Well, mountain lions found me there,<br />

And set me on a eagles wing<br />

(Its the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)<br />

He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,<br />

And when he brought me back,<br />

He gave me a venus witch's ring<br />

Hey!<br />

And he said "Fly on, fly on"<br />

Because I'm a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile<br />

Hey!<br />

<br />

Well, I make love to you,<br />

And lord knows you'll feel no pain<br />

Say, I make love to you in your sleep,<br />

And lord knows you felt no pain<br />

(Have mercy)<br />

'Cause I'm a million miles away<br />

And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame<br />

(Yeah! What did I say now)<br />

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile<br />

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile<br />

<br />

Well my arrows are made of desire<br />

From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines<br />

Say my arrows are made of desire, desire<br />

From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines<br />

(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah)<br />

I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,<br />

You think you were losing your mind, hmmm...<br />

<br />

Well I float in liquid gardens<br />

And Arizona new red sand<br />

(Yeah)<br />

I float in liquid gardens<br />

Way down in Arizona red sand<br />

<br />

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue,<br />

Way down in California<br />

And the n New York drowns as we hold hands<br />

<br />

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile<br />

Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
