(Verse 1) Down in the bayou where the cypress trees grow, There's a woman who knows the secrets that nobody knows. She's got roots and herbs in a jar by her door, And when she sings her songs, the spirits come pourin' in. She's got High John the Conqueror root for luck and good fortune, And graveyard dirt to call upon the power of the departed. With a mojo hand and a poppet made of cloth, She weaves her magic, and the whole world takes note. (Chorus) Hoodoo blues, singin' 'bout the roots and the rituals, Callin' on the spirits, makin' the world spin. With a pinch of this and a sprinkle of that, We're dancin' with the ancestors, can't you feel that? (Verse 2) She's got black snake root for protection and defense, And John the Baptist's head to keep the evil at bay. With a lodestone and a lodestone chain, She's drawin' in love, and the whole town's goin' crazy. She's got a red string tied around her finger, To keep the evil eye from causin' her harm. And when the moon is full, she's out there dancin', With the spirits of the land, singin' her song. (Chorus) Hoodoo blues, singin' 'bout the roots and the rituals, Dancin' with the ancestors, makin' the world spin. With a whisper here and a prayer there, We're callin' on the power, can't you feel it? (Bridge) Now, the government and the big corporations, They don't want you to know about the power of the roots. But deep down south where the magnolia trees grow, There's a wisdom that's been passed down, and it's true. (Verse 3) She's got a black cat bone to bring good luck, And a lodestone powder to make her love come back. With a dollop of honey and a pinch of salt, She's cookin' up a storm, and the whole town's entranced. She's got a black hen skillet for protection and strength, And a lodestone buried in her backyard for good health. With a mojo bag and a prayer on her lips, She's callin' on the spirits, and the whole world's listenin'. (Chorus) Hoodoo blues, singin' 'bout the roots and the rituals, Dancin' with the ancestors, makin' the world spin. With a whisper here and a prayer there, We're callin' on the power, can't you feel it? (Outro) So if you're lookin' for luck, or love, or protection, Look no further than the roots and the rituals of Hoodoo. With a song in your heart and a spirit in your soul, You too can dance with the ancestors, and make the world whole.
