That Hoodoo

listen . . . do you hear the black cat screeching?
hear him . . . . drowning out the preacher preaching
take me . . . down to where the nighttime lingers
the hoodoo . . . got about a thousand fingers

drew a bad card and i stepped outside
woman whispered to me "gonna be a rough ride"
she gave me a John the Conqueror root
a half a burned dollar and a three piece suit

midnight . . . slithered like a snake through my head
outside . . . heard somebody drag a brass bed
the bayou . . . ain't no place to take too lightly
the hoodoo . . . wrap around your brain so tightly

saw a man fall and another run
woman started screaming "now the fun's begun"
drew the Jack of Diamonds but it turned to smoke
my brain started itching like some poison oak

hold on . . . try keep your thoughts collected
the hoodoo . . . might just keep you well protected
cause evil . . . is feeding on your desperation
the hoodoo . . . might just be your one salvation

dunk your head in a bucket of tears
morning ain't breaking for another five years
black cat screeching now loud as he can
but that ain't no preacher that's the hoodoo man
