Moon Martin - Voodoo River lyrics

rate me

There's a queen I know

Named Maria Laveau

Livin' in a home

Made of skin and bone

On bayou teche

In the tall cane break

Full Moon she'll be

Dancin' with a snake

Took a lock of my hair

Piece of my nail

Mixed em' all up

Boiled em' in a pail

Now I can't breath

I don't sleep

I can't get

No relief

My baby took me

Down a voodoo river

Break the levee

Cos' I got to go with her

Out of my way

I gotta say

That strong gris-gris

Made a mess of me

Under a spell

A voodoo hex

Watch out boy

You might be next

Baby I don't know

But some place I read

She can change her shape

Be something else instead

Where I kissed her skin

Something in me died

All summmer I've been cold

Froze up inside

God knows my past

God know my fate

Pick a number Jack

Gonna have to wait

My nerves are shot

I feel stripped

I ain't no good

My back is whipped
