Hoodoo Lady lyrics

Hoodoo lady, how do you do?

They tell me you take a boot and turn it to a brand new shoe

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Hoodoo lady, you can turn water to wine

I been wondering where have you been all this time

I'm setting here, broke, and I ain't got a dime

You ought to put something in these dukes of mine

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

(Boy, you better watch it 'cause she's tricky)

Hoodoo lady, I want you to unlock my door

So I can get in and get all my clothes

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Now look-a here, hoodoo lady,

I want you to treat me right

Bring my man back home,

But don't let him stay all night

And don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

( Boy, she's tricky as she can be.

Better watch her, too.)

Why look-a here, hoodoo lady, I'm your friend

When you leave this time, come back again

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

( Boys, I'm scared of her.)
